What happens when the life you've built no longer resembles the life you imagined?
Empty nest loneliness, marital discontent, and a former love's social media post shared as a joke all collide just when Callie Larson, a fifty-year-hold mother of three, has to contend with a dramatic shift from crazy family life to one where her kids are gone, her workaholic husband continues to travel extensively, and her vision of empty-nesting changes from more time together to just more time alone.
Sometimes the place you never intended to stop becomes exactly where you belong.
When fifty-year-old Rowan Delaney walks into her country winery and bar, Marnie can't help but give him a crowd-turning hard time for being such an obvious fish-out-of-water. But instead of embarrassing the city-man back out the door, her call-out changes his concern about the very out-of-the-way place being safe for a quick pit-stop to a curiosity to stay for a drink to watch and experience its unusually happy and eccentric people... as well as to start a flirtatious banter with the sassy bartender who just welcomed him so openly.
The Glimmer in the Leaves is an inspired story about a city-slicker, country-clubbing, corporate banker finding solitude from the stresses of life and his looming divorce at one of the most unbelievable places that also, unknowingly, needs him.
Every road, like life, has blind corners to navigate and needs bridges to get you over troublesome gaps. Sometimes they are personal to just you. And other times they are found in the people that come and go as life moves on.
Jamie Stewart's solo drive from Eugene to San Diego down the Pacific Coast was supposed to be alone and therapeutic. But when the elderly widow, who just sold him her family's heirloom convertible, asks to ride with him on her dream trip she had planned many times, he agrees. And, later, when his mid-twenties daughter drops an unexpected bomb on him in San Francisco, she joins their journey to escape her worries, if only for a few days.
Bridges and Blind Corners weaves an intriguing story of three generations on a common journey dealing with their very private, haunting issues alone, and, at times, together.
