Montpelier Tomorrow

"An affecting, deeply honest novel; at the same time, a lacerating indictment of our modern health care system." - Kirkus Reviews

"Montpelier Tomorrow is a beautifully written, superbly constructed novel which will almost certainly be the best Family Life/Literary Fiction novel you will read this year."- Books Butterfly Editorial Reviews

Everyone thinks Colleen Gallagher has it all together: a successful career, a loving family, and a knack for solving problems. The birth of a second grandchild gives her an excuse to pack her bags and relocate to Washington DC. However, caring for aged parents has left her little time to nurture a relationship with her emotionally distant daughter.

The birth of second grandchild gives Colleen an excuse to pack her bags and relocate to Washington DC. But when her son-in-law falls ill, this kindergarten teacher and delighted grandma must change her focus from the little ones to the grownups.

Her daughter clings to the hope that the young couple can make the most of their remaining time together - romantic getaways and date nights out. The more Colleen tries to penetrate the fog of denial, the more her daughter pushes away - outbursts of anger followed by withering silence.

As Colleen juggles the multiple roles of grandma, cook, and caregiver, she discovers that even her superhuman efforts and a special "last" Christmas in Vermont can't fix what's wrong. Maybe nothing can. Should she save her family or save herself?

If you enjoy flawed yet heroic characters and a powerful mix of tragedy and humor, then you won't want to miss Montpelier Tomorrow.

For fans of Abraham Verghese, Kristin Hannah, Colleen Hoover, and Fredrick Backman, this beautifully written, literary novel is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Buy Montpelier Tomorrow today.
