Dear Readers,
I’m super excited to announce my latest book, A Mountain Leads Home. The novel released on November 15, 2022. Every book develops from a premise, an inspiration, and this holiday novel is special to me as it loosely relates to a real life romance that blossomed in my family about ten years ago.
My son-in-law, William, traveled to Canada to experience winter sports. He was super excited to snowboard, to sail across winter-white slopes, so you can imagine his disappointment when he fell on the mountain on his very first day. My daughter least expected one tumble in the mountains would change her life. At the time, she was employed as a nurse in a local hospital, working in the trauma unit. I don’t want to give too much away, spoil the fictional story, or even intrude on my daughter and son-in-law’s personal life, but this couple shared a heartwarming connection from the start. I thought their love story would be fun to tell.
I wish to acknowledge and thank William and Carrie for permitting me to fictionalize their journey as a couple as well as reviewing the first chapters of A Mountain Leads Home prior to publication.
And to my readers— I hope you enjoy reading my latest book!
Shelley Kassian
