In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.

You should be able to access this book through apple iBook; amazon kindle; nook Barnes and Noble, audio books, etc., or you may want to try your local library via ebooks checkout.
