On a Someday

by Roxanne Henke

Published 1 January 2009
In this delightful new novel, popular author Roxanne Henke (the "Coming Home to Brewster" series, "Learning to Fly") strikes a familiar chord with readers as she introduces us to the Westin family and their "someday" plans. Claire Westin has spent her adult life being a wife, mother, and college professor. The last thing she expects as she nears retirement status is to have a whole new career open before her. Her husband, Jim, has spent his life growing his chain of grocery stores. He has a grand plan to restore an old Dodge Charger ...someday when he retires. Someday soon, he hopes. If his son Drew would only agree to take over the family business. Drew, however, has plans of his own. And Claire is busy climbing the ladder of her new career. She can't bear the thought that she might have to say "no" to the exciting new opportunities she's pursuing and simply sit around and watch her husband tinker on an old car. What happens when plans collide? When dreams don't materialize? How do you know when your work is done? Or is it ever? "On a Someday" asks the big questions of life...and tries to answer them. "...A CBA novelist to watch". ("Publishers Weekly").
