It has cost her a marriage, a sister held at arm's length, and a loneliness so constant she has stopped feeling it as anything but the weather of being alive. Then a foundation she has never heard of offers her six months in Lisbon, leading a program built not to save women one at a time at the edge of catastrophe, but to catch them long before they fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe tells herself it is only a job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the gold light of a foreign city, Renata meets Daniel Vasconcelos - a health economist who once practiced medicine too, and walked away from it, and carries the same armor she does, worn the other way around. What begins as a collision over a graph becomes the first thing in two decades she has let herself want. But wanting, she discovers, is the most dangerous thing of all. When the program's funding falters and her old life calls her home, Renata must decide whether she is brave enough to stay in the discomfort of being loved - or whether she will run, one last time, into the safe cold solitude that has never once hurt her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sweeping, tender novel about reinvention, the work that saves us, and the love we almost let pass us by, The Weight of Air asks whether a person can change at forty-one - and answers, against every odd, that she can.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Wynter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798184068626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Jessica Wynter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48853026439423,"sku":"9798184068626","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-weight-of-air-jessica-wynter-9798184068626","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
