September Skies - Paperback

by Tiffany A. Zappulla (Illustrator), Tiffany Zappulla (Author)

September Skies is a soul-stirring, emotionally resonant novel that spans sixteen years and stays with you long after the final page. Told through a beautifully woven tapestry of present-day reckonings and evocative flashbacks, it explores the fragile threads of friendship, the complexity of forgiveness, and the subtle strength of choices we don't realize we're making.

At its core is Tess Natale, the luminous yet elusive heart of The Richlin Ten, a once-close college friend group bound by loyalty, laughter, and unspoken pain. To the outside world, Tess appears reliable: composed, compassionate, and endlessly giving. But beneath her polished exterior is a woman silently cracking under the weight of invisible expectations and the need to be everything for everyone, except herself.

As Tess navigates the slow unraveling of her carefully crafted life, the story peels back her layers to reveal the quiet fractures she's long kept hidden. Caught in a cycle of decisions, some made in self-preservation, others in silent desperation, one misstep could shatter everything, not just for her, but for those she holds closest.

Profound, intimate, and deeply human, September Skies offers a poignant exploration of the roles we play, the truths we bury, and the questions we're too afraid to ask. Because if you never ask the question, do you ever need the answer?
