In Sorrow, Tiffanie DeBartolo draws from her experience as a record label owner and music exec to deftly weave the story of a musician who has lost his way.

Joe Harper has backpedalled throughout his life. A once-promising guitar prodigy, he's been living without direction since abandoning his musical dreams. Now into his thirties, having retreated from every opportunity he's had to level up, he has lost his family, his best friend, and his own self-respect.

A new job with conceptual artist October Danko returns him to his hometown, loaded with bittersweet reminders of his former life—but as his relationship with October develops, Joe yearns to take a daring step toward a bold future. Torn between what could have been and what could be, Joe must face the lynchpin of his regret, and the source of his possibility: that everyone is always one decision away from a completely different life.
