BECOMING

A novel by James Bradley.

Becoming Themselves

Three lives. Three turning points. One question: Is this the life I really want?

Synopsis

Daniel, Ruth and Sam have spent years building lives shaped by responsibilities, expectations and the identities they've come to accept.

Then something changes.

For each of them, the familiar begins to feel less certain.

And each must confront a question that is both simple and difficult:

Who am I allowed to become?

Becoming Themselves explores the emotional journey of personal reinvention through three interconnected stories.
