The Marriage Audit

A novel of one day, twelve questions, and the silences that nearly ended everything.

Sophia and Beau LeBlanc weren’t the explosive type. They built a life on quiet rituals—shared calendars, polite restraint, mutual ambition. But after eight years, one miscarriage, and countless unspoken distances, they find themselves across from a therapist, divorce papers unsigned, asking the final question:

Is there anything left to save?

What follows is one day.
Twelve questions.
And two people finally learning how to speak the language of what’s been left unsaid—about grief, betrayal, sacrifice, and the quiet unraveling of a marriage.

Told through alternating perspectives, a structured audit, and memory-laced interludes, The Marriage Audit is a lyrical, intimate portrait of a modern marriage at its breaking point. With unflinching emotional honesty, it explores the gap between what we promise and what we become—and whether love can still be chosen after everything has changed.

This is not a love story.
It’s a story about love—how it falters, how it endures, and how it asks to be chosen again.

For readers who appreciate:
• Emotionally layered literary fiction
• Relationship-driven stories with deep interiority
• Themes of grief, memory, infidelity, and quiet resilience
• The introspective tone of Mary Beth Keane, Claire Lombardo, or Dani Shapiro
