Check it out: Margot James is fine. Really! She’s a recovering foster kid and a certified expert at keeping any potential vulnerabilities at a safe distance.

Again. Margot decides to cope the same way she always does—by disappearing into her role as a bereavement coordinator at a bustling Chicago hospital. Despite Margot’s best efforts to completely dissolve, fate steps in, and a determined coworker convinces Margot to take her honeymoon trip to Saint Lucia solo. She’s okay with running away. And this time, when she does, Margot’s world bursts into technicolor.Margot James is Fine is the story of a relentless giver who learns how to shine her light on herself almost as much as she shines it on the people around her who are navigating grief. Her past is heartbreaking and her future is a blank page, but readers will root for Margot as she overcomes toxicity, finds simple joy and thrilling freedom in surprising places, and falls in love in profound and unexpected ways.
