While I Was Gone
First published 1999
About the book
In the summer of 1968, Jo Becker ran out on the marriage and the life her parents wanted for her, and escaped – for one beautiful, idyllic year – into a life that was bohemian and romantic, living under an assumed name in a rambling group house in Cambridge. It was a time of limitless possibility, but it ended in a single instant when Jo returned home one night to find her best friend lying dead in a pool of blood on the living room floor.
Read the full description
Now Jo has everything she’s ever wanted: a veterinary practice she loves, a devoted husband, three grown daughters, a beautiful Massachusetts farmhouse.
And if occasionally she feels a stranger to herself and wonders what happened to the freedom she once felt, or how she came to be the wife, mother, and doctor her neighbors know and trust – if at times she feels as if her whole life is vanishing behind her as she’s living it – she need only look at her daughters or her husband, Daniel, to recall the satisfactions of family and community and marriage.
