Montpelier Tomorrow - A Novel

Marylee MacDonald

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Her friends in Illinois think Colleen Gallagher has it all together: meaningful work, a loving family, and a knack for solving problems. However, caring for aged parents has left her little time to nurture a relationship with her emotionally distant daughter. 
 
The birth of a 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. 
 
The young couple clings to the hope that they 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. This beautifully written, literary novel is a testament to the power of a mother's love and the resilience of the human spirit. Buy Montpelier Tomorrow today.
