Convention: a novel

At Harvard, Jennifer Collins and Brian Thomas were inseparable. Sharing a love for the outdoors almost as deep as their love for each other, the two had dreamed of trekking the remote trails of the world together. But on graduation day, Jen broke off their engagement without an explanation. Devastated, Brian ran off to Asia without her and never came back. Seven years later, they run into each other at a business convention in Boston, where they quickly discover that their love never faded. But there are complications. Jen is now married to a good man with whom she shares the stable, comfortable lifestyle she craved as a child. Meanwhile, Brian has made a very different life, rejecting his wealthy upbringing for a humble existence as a travel writer. In the days that follow, Jen will finally find the courage to explain to Brian why she left him. Moreover, she will have to choose between her adoring husband and the only man she has ever truly loved. But before she does, she’ll have to answer one nagging question: Who am I, really?
