We are so excited to welcome back local author, Angela Brown!! She will be signing copies of her new book Some Other Time!
Former bookstore employee Ellie and Jonah, her husband of twenty years, are headed for divorce. They’ve simply fallen out of love, but their family—college-aged daughter Maggie, and Ellie’s eccentric parents Frank and Bunny—aren’t having it. But what if their lives had gone differently? What if Ellie and Jonah had never crashed into one another? That’s the question Ellie is forced to reckon with on the extraordinary morning when she wakes up to an alternate version of the present day—one in which she and a passing stranger named Jonah never married.
Perfect for Valentine’s Day, SOME OTHER TIME is an untraditional love story in which Ellie sees that a simple shift in time could have resulted in an entirely different life. In Olivia Strauss, Brown asked: “If you knew the date when you would die, would you change the way you live?” And SOME OTHER TIME looks at the tiny nuances of life, asking what it could have been like if another path had been chosen.
As Ellie soon finds out, “life is not a study in destiny but an experiment in choice, less a quirky romance novel about serendipity and more akin to those Choose Your Own Adventure books she loved to read as a kid. You make one decision and flip ahead twenty pages. You make a different one and watch your marriage end.”
SOME OTHER TIME is a charmingly upside down second-chance romance, full of heart and tenderness.
