Mary Hawthawn has always believed in the unseen threads that guide a life. But when her family unravels in the wake of illness, addiction, and long-buried resentments, she discovers a radical rewriting reality on the page before it unfolds.
What begins as a private ritual of scribbled hopes and half-formed prayers soon becomes something far stranger—and more powerful. Mary’s words start to ripple outward, bending the fates of those she a broken brother, a grieving cousin, a mother carrying decades of silence. Each line she pens seems to open a door between despair and redemption.
But as the boundaries blur between imagination and truth, Mary must ask is she writing the future, or simply uncovering a script that was waiting all along?
Set against the shifting landscapes of family crisis and reconciliation, The Script is a haunting, luminous novel about grief, hope, and the dangerous, miraculous art of becoming the author of one’s own life.
