Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when losing the life you built forces you to finally ask who you are becoming?Elias thought losing his husband would be the hardest thing he would ever have to face.He was wrong.When his marriage quietly comes to an end, Elias is left with an apartment full of memories, a future he no longer recognizes, and the uncomfortable realization that he has spent years avoiding questions he should have asked long ago.Searching for somewhere to think, Elias begins taking long walks to a quiet lake. There, he meets Thomas Hale, a retired philosophy professor who doesn't offer easy answers. Instead, Thomas asks questions-questions about love, happiness, responsibility, identity, honesty, and what it means to live a life that is truly your own.As Elias begins examining his marriage and the choices that brought him to this moment, he discovers that people can love each other deeply and still hurt one another. That silence can be its own kind of dishonesty. That taking responsibility isn't the same as accepting blame. And that sometimes, letting go of the life you expected is the only way to discover the life you can still become.The Weight of Becoming is a quiet, emotionally intimate philosophical novel about love, loss, identity, responsibility, and the uncomfortable beauty of becoming someone new.For anyone who has ever looked at their life and wondered: Is this who I'm supposed to be?And perhaps the more important question: Who am I becoming?
