The Inconvenient Unraveling of Gemma Sinclair

Meg Myers Morgan

Gemma Sinclair is coming undone.

At first glance, she seems to have it all: a successful career as a therapist, a devoted husband, two young sons, and a beautiful home. But upon closer inspection, there are serious fractures rooted in professional demands, family stresses, and-most notably-the unexpected onset of postpartum depression.

After a frightening accident injures her newborn son, Gemma lies about who is responsible. As her lies compound and pressure builds, she has no choice but to confront long-buried family secrets. Gemma soon finds her career threatened, her marriage in jeopardy, and her sanity stretched to the breaking point.

With poignant humor, crackling dialogue, and unflinching honesty, The Inconvenient Unraveling of Gemma Sinclair is about a woman in crisis, determined to find her way through past trauma toward love, forgiveness, and-ultimately-rebirth.
