A More Perfect Union
Michelle Edelman
Amid the chaos of the early COVID-19 pandemic, NSA whistleblower Henry Berg is running out of time. Facing a rigged trial and two decades in prison, he searches desperately for the one explosive truth hidden among the 20,000 files he stole. But while Henry fights to leave his mark on history, his spouse, Stella, is losing the person who shaped hers. As her mother’s health deteriorates, Stella grapples with the weight of unresolved wounds, the evolving truth of their own identity, and the loud unraveling of their marriage. When a long-buried secret reveals Henry isn’t their child’s father, Stella drifts toward Avery—their daughter’s famous birth father—seeking comfort in the possibility of something new. When Henry risks everything to reunite with Stella, their love proves undeniable—but whether love is enough remains an open question.
