*The Weight of Wanting* follows Eleanor Hart and Julian Mercer, two emotionally self-aware adults whose carefully built lives are disrupted by an unexpected, deeply intentional love. As distance, ambition, and fear test their connection, they must confront the difference between independence and avoidance. The novel explores how adult romance is shaped less by certainty than by choice, presence, and honesty. Ultimately, it is a story about learning to stay—without losing oneself.
