Redemption awaits her…
but only if she confronts all her ghosts.
Marnie Putnam is devastated by her husband’s seeming indifference over her recent miscarriages and job loss. Trying to avoid the inevitable, she makes a temporary move to quaint Lake Gardner, Georgia, to record some local oral histories and find some space. But when noises and visions plague her at night, Marnie grapples to know if it’s her own past regrets that haunt her—or something more sinister here in the house where two women died under the blue moon years earlier.
​
Deciding to confront her fears, Marnie stays, embracing the town’s quirky stories and characters. She even begins to face ghosts of her own—psychological and real—that she thought she’d buried long ago. But when another blue moon rises and yet another heinous death takes place, Marnie knows her life is in danger.
​If she returns home to her husband, she’ll be safe, but without the answers she desperately seeks. But if she stays, will she survive?
Creative nonfiction humor book coming in 2025
Fifty states. Forty-five years. One marriage.
One Wrong Turn at a Time is a coming-of-age journey of a couple (let's call them Honey and Rice) who've grown up together to build a marriage, a family, a life...often in spite of themselves. For sure, it's not a how-to book! It’s more like a combination travelogue – marriage memoir – and humor book about celebrating the ordinary as though it’s extraordinary despite all the potholes and road work and detours along the way.
​
The book combines a love-hate relationship with travel (he loves it, she, not always) with a look at some of their favorite pitstops along the way, It also shares more than a few candid observations about the wonders and insults of growing old together, on the road and at home.
​
Ultimately, it’s a reminder that no matter how far and wide we go, it’s less about the destination than the journey. For Honey and Rice, the best part of travel is always heading back home. Together.
