The Dive From Clausen's Pier A Novel

Carrie Bell, a twenty-three-year-old woman living in Wisconsin, finds her life and her long-term relationship with her fiancé, Mike Mayer, suffocating. During a Memorial Day picnic, Mike dives from Clausen's Pier into shallow water, breaks his neck, and becomes paralyzed. Faced with the tragedy, Carrie struggles with the pressure of her commitment to Mike and the life she felt she was losing. She impulsively leaves Mike and her life in Madison, Wisconsin, to move to New York City, where she seeks self-discovery, faces immense guilt, and begins a new relationship. The novel explores questions of loyalty, self-knowledge, and the moral complexity of choosing between duty to the people you love and the duty to be true to yourself.
