After around 15 years of writing and rewriting, Diane Parrish finally took the bold step of publishing her first book, "Something Better." She tells NTD about her writing process and the important but complex message of forgiveness.

The characters Ruth and David live their tidy suburban lives in a bubble. However, that bubble is about to burst. A tragic automobile accident shatters their insular world and sends David into an emotional tailspin. An unexpected job opportunity sends Ruth to the West Coast, waylaying her desire to become a mother and making her increasingly unavailable for David's needs. Thrown off balance and alone, David develops a fixation on Annabeth Brady, the daughter of the friends they lost that fateful night. As he and Ruth drift further apart, each must decide if they will remain true to their vows, or what it might mean to search for "Something Better."
