Stella is a nurse who has long suppressed her own needs and desires to nurture the dreams of her partner, Simon, the bass player for a rock band that has started to lose its edge. But when Stella gets unexpectedly ill and falls into a coma just as Simon is preparing to fly with his band to Los Angeles for a gig that could revive his career, Simon must learn the meaning of sacrifice, while Stella's best friend, Libby, a doctor who treats Stella, must also make a difficult choice as the coma wears on. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When Stella at last awakes from her two-month sleep, she emerges into a striking new reality where Simon and Libby have formed an intense bond, and where she discovers that she has acquired a startling artistic talent of her own: the ability to draw portraits of people in which she captures their innermost feelings and desires. Stella's whole identity, but also her role in her relationships, has been scrambled, and she has the chance to form a new life, one she hadn't even realized she wanted. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A story of love, loyalty, loss, and resilience, \u003ci\u003eWith or Without You\u003c\/i\u003e is a page-turner that asks the question, What do we owe the other people in our lives, and when does the cost become too great?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaroline Leavitt \u003c\/b\u003eis the award-winning author of twelve novels, including the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003ePictures of You \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eIs This Tomorrow. \u003c\/i\u003eHer essays and stories have been included in \u003ci\u003eNew York\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, \u003ci\u003ePsychology Today, More, Parenting, Redbook, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSalon. \u003c\/i\u003eShe's a book critic for \u003ci\u003ePeople, \u003c\/i\u003ethe \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe, \u003c\/i\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle, \u003c\/i\u003eand she teaches writing online at Stanford and UCLA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 8.19 x 5.43 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 29, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768698339616,"sku":"9781643751436","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/6bf7723724c5975fc41f0d656fcb933e.webp?v=1780335477","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/with-or-without-you-paperback-1","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
