From New York Times Bestselling Author Keith Ablow
Alex Kane, a brilliant but deeply troubled hedge fund manager, has built a fortune predicting market movements—yet he is powerless to control the quiet collapse of his own life. Haunted by his father’s suicide, shaped by his mother’s alcoholism, and hollowed out by a success that feels increasingly meaningless, Kane reaches a breaking point. His marriage disintegrates. His partners force him out of the firm he built. And his beloved dog Abel—his last steady source of unconditional love—is dying. Alone and unraveling, Kane contemplates ending it all.
Instead, he conceives an audacious alternative: if his life feels broken beyond repair, he will rewrite it.
Enter Hank Kline, a once-celebrated Hollywood director now desperate for relevance. Kane hires him to stage an elaborate rebirth—a meticulously engineered existence in a small New England town, partly populated with actors, scripted encounters, and carefully orchestrated “coincidences” designed to manufacture meaning. Armed with a new name and altered appearance, Kane steps into the role of his own reinvention.
But immersion carries risks. As fabricated moments begin to feel disturbingly authentic, the boundary between performance and reality dissolves. Memories intrude. Control slips. And Kane must confront a dangerous question: can a man truly escape his past—or will every story, no matter how carefully rewritten, bend back toward its original ending?

“Keith Ablow has written a literary masterpiece that asks and answers the question, 'Can a human being find the true self within?' Alex Kane is a hero for all of us." —Dr. Rock Positano, Co-author of Dinner with Dimaggio: Memories of an American Hero
"Aside from your obvious skill and sensitivity as a writer, much of what you say is truly enlightening . . . I was everywhere impressed . . . Keep up the splendid work.“ —William Styron (for To Wrestle with Demons), Pulitzer Prize Winning Author of The Confessions of Nat Turner and Sophie’s Choice
