Today Nora has been told that she is about to lose her job, and then someone knocks on her front door to tell her that her cat has been killed on the road. This is the last straw for Nora. Her parents are dead and her brother won't talk to her and so she decides that there is nothing left to live for.
Having taken some pills, on the stroke of midnight Nora finds herself in a library. The only other person there is Mrs Elm who was her old school librarian. The shelves are full of books in different shades of green but all without titles. Each book holds the story of the life Nora would have lived if a different decision had been made. There is also a book of regrets.
Nora can choose a book, or ask for a particular version of her life and when she opens the book and starts to read she is transported to that life. She can do this again and again so that she has lived all different versions of her life and has no regrets. If she finds the perfect life perhaps she can stay there.
