Unwedding

Ellery Wainwright is by herself at Big Sur, California. She and her husband, Luke, had planned to mark their twentieth wedding anniversary together at the luxurious Resort at Broken Point, a setting that seemed perfect for celebrating a marriage, a family, and a shared life. Instead she has arrived alone.

Her stay also overlaps with a wedding at the resort. Watching it, Ellery recalls what it felt like to stand at the start of everything, with a happy and certain future ahead. Now the only things she is sure of are her love for her children and a growing sense that Broken Point, for all its beauty, is an unsettling place.
