An historical novel set in the ruthless arenas of Washington politics, Wall Street, and corporate greed, Becoming Who We Were speaks to love, loss, longing and the search for meaning in an imperfect world. Charming and clever, Sean O'Hare seeks to orchestrate life but instead finds himself swept along by happenstance. At the apex of his successful career Sean stumbles into a mystery that involves the brilliant and idealistic Cate, who has haunted him for decades. A host of seemingly unrelated characters come together at the epicenter of a chase to avert a potentially catastrophic medical disaster.

"The past is never dead. It's not even past."
-- William Faulkner, Requiem for a Nun
