Description
A moving, whimsical debut love story of 'what if' about a grieving widow who attempts to rewrite her past with magical typewriter ribbons to try to save her husband from his unfortunate fate, for readers of In Five Years and Me Before You.

"A wholly original tale of love, fate, and second (and third and fourth) chances that will leave your jaw on the floor. I'll be thinking about this book for a long time." --Colleen Oakley, USA Today bestselling author of Jane and Dan at the End of the World

Alone in her snowbound oceanfront cottage, Caroline Ora mourns the loss of her beloved husband Forest, killed earlier that year in a violent hit-and-run. Once a celebrated poet, Caroline now spends her days drowning in grief ... until an unlikely discovery changes everything.

Buried deep in her attic in a dusty wooden case, Caroline finds several ancient typewriter ribbons. Spontaneously using one to write a story --a simple "what if" wherein her anguish has loosened its grip--Caroline wakes to find it's miraculously come true.

Moment by moment, word by word, Caroline sets about rewriting her life, resurrecting her husband through ink and memories. But as the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur, Caroline learns that every wish has its cost, and every miracle has its reckoning.

Riveting, funny and heartbreaking by turns, The Seventh Ribbon is an inventive and unforgettable love story.
