A quiet, emotionally rich work of literary fiction about a marriage tested by terminal illness and the weight of unspoken guilt. A story of confession, forgiveness and finding peace at the end of life, told with tenderness and unflinching honesty. Some Confessions Cost Everything. Some Bring Peace. Bill Sanderson is dying. The lung cancer will take him within months, and he knows it. What he doesn't know is how to spend the time he's left. His wife Maggie deserves the truth about the mistakes he's carried for decades. But confession could shatter the faith that holds her together, and Bill can't tell which is crueller: the lie or the truth. As his health fails, one final choice looms. He wants peace. He wants redemption. He wants to spare Maggie the pain that's coming. He can't have all three. Driving in Fog is a standalone work of emotional literary fiction, for readers who love marriage-in-crisis stories, end-of-life reckonings and quiet redemption. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Anne Tyler and Maggie O'Farrell. "Fabulous book. I read it in one day as couldn't put it down. I did shed a lot of tears so would suggest some tissues. Would highly recommend this book.""This book was awesome. It will stay with me a long time.""Really enjoyed this story, have recommended it to others."
