We're excited to be hosting Julie Timmer, author of Five Days Left, to celebrate the release of her new novel, Untethered! When Char Hawthorn's husband dies unexpectedly, she is left questioning everything she once knew to be true: from the cozy small town life they built together to her relationship with her stepdaughter, who is suddenly not bound to Char in any real way. UNTETHERED explores what bonds truly form a family and how, sometimes, love knows no bounds.
"Harper Lee famously wrote that you can choose your friends, but you can t choose your family. In Untethered, Julie Lawson Timmer makes mincemeat of this old chestnut, proving that a modern family can indeed consist of people who find their own way to each other, however circuitously. The pulse of the story is in the journey, and the triumph is in the unexpectedness of the destination. If you re inclined to gently strong-arm your book club, Timmer s is a poignant page-turner worth going to the mat for." --Elisabeth Egan, author of A Window Opens.
