Dawn Edelstein è su un aereo quando le viene detto di prepararsi a un atterraggio di emergenza. Mentre si prepara, i suoi pensieri non riguardano suo marito, ma un uomo che ha visto l'ultima volta quindici anni fa: Wyatt Armstrong. Miracolosamente, Dawn sopravvive all'incidente, ma sorgono dubbi inaspettati. Ha condotto una vita soddisfacente a Boston, con suo marito Brian, la loro amata figlia e il suo lavoro come doula della morte. Ma in Egitto c'è Wyatt, un archeologo che scava antichi siti funerari, una carriera per la quale Dawn aveva studiato ma che ha dovuto abbandonare. La compagnia aerea assicura che i sopravvissuti vengano visitati da un medico e offre trasporto verso la loro destinazione. La scelta ovvia è tornare a casa, ma potrebbe anche decidere di tornare al sito archeologico che ha lasciato anni prima, riconnettersi con Wyatt e affrontare la loro storia irrisolta. Mentre la storia si sviluppa, i due futuri possibili di Dawn si intrecciano, insieme ai segreti e ai dubbi a lungo sepolti. Dawn deve confrontarsi con domande che non ha mai veramente posto: come si presenta una vita ben vissuta? Cosa lasciamo dietro di noi quando lasciamo questa terra? Facciamo scelte o sono le nostre scelte a fare di noi ciò che siamo? E chi saresti, se non fossi diventato la persona che sei adesso?

Jason Bennett jest typowym ojcem z amerykańskiego przedmieścia. Któregoś dnia sprawy przybierają jednak niepokojący obrót --gdy odwozi rodzinę do domu po meczu hokeja, zaczyna ich śledzić podejrzany pikap. Nagle z samochodu wyskakuje dwóch mężczyzn i wymierza broń w Jasona, żądając jego auta. Ta krótka, ale pełna przemocy chwila odciśnie trwałe piętno na psychice mężczyzny. Później tej samej nocy Jasona i jego rodzinę odwiedza FBI. Agenci twierdzą, że napastnicy byli członkami groźnego gangu handlującego narkotykami, a familia Bennettów jest teraz ich nowym celem. Jedyne wyjście z sytuacji to przystąpienie do programu ochrony świadków, który--jak się okazuje--chroni informatorów policyjnych, a nie przestrzegających prawa, zwyczajnych obywateli. Opuściwszy świat, który znają, uwięzieni w nieznanym miejscu, Bennettowie powoli przestają być rodziną. Wtedy właśnie Jason poznaje prawdę... i zdaje sobie sprawę, że pora wziąć sprawy we swoje ręce.

"As we grow older--most of all, in what we remember and what we dream--we live in the past. Sometimes, we live more vividly in the past than in the present. As an older man, Juan Diego will take a trip to the Philippines, but what travels with him are his dreams and memories; he is most alive in his childhood and early adolescence in Mexico. "An aura of fate had marked him," John Irving writes, of Juan Diego. "The chain of events, the links in our lives--what leads us where we're going, the courses we follow to our ends, what we don't see coming, and what we do--all this can be mysterious, or simply unseen, or even obvious." Avenue of Mysteries is the story of what happens to Juan Diego in the Philippines, where what happened to him in the past--in Mexico--collides with his future"--
