Apology Project: A Novel

Dear (almost) everyone: Can we be friends again?Life is about to get complicated for Amelia Montgomery, a prominent litigator in Chicago. She&;s been fired for not compromising her principles in a high-profile case and then punching her partner in the nose for the misogynistic comment he made in retort (not her finest moment). Leaving a career that gave her purpose, Amelia can only ask, What next?Let it be better than her epic failure of a fortieth birthday party: an open bar full of no-shows except for John Ellis, a total stranger and the new associate at her ex-firm. As it turns out, though, he&;s very good company&;and a wake-up call. With the help of John and a lot of champagne, Amelia considers the people she&;s wronged, from old besties to former boyfriends to coworkers. Amelia resolves to make amends&;to those who really deserve it.One apology at a time, Amelia&;s looking at the choices she&;s made in the past, the new ones she&;s making with John, and those she&;s making for herself. What next? Maybe a second chance she never expected.
