The story follows Mike Noonan, a once-prolific author in Derry, Maine who finds himself paralyzed by severe writer’s block after the sudden death of his wife, Jo Noonan. Jo’s passing is wrapped in a haunting detail: she had just bought a home pregnancy test but never revealed whether she was expecting. Grief tightens its grip as Mike endures panic attacks that silence his writing, even though he clings to four unpublished manuscripts to keep his agent and editor in the dark about his struggle.
