She is in the garage, sitting in her car, taking ten more minutes before going inside just to have a moment to herself.

Every Choice Changes You is a collection of stories about women at the turning points of their lives. Some are mothers. Some are not. Some are married. Some are leaving. Some are starting over long after life was supposed to feel settled. Each is trying to figure out whether happiness is something you build, choose, sacrifice for, or accidentally miss while being responsible.
