Cozy Fest: David Giuliano + The Upending of Wendall Forbes

In David Giuliano’s The Upending of Wendall Forbes
 (Latitude 46 Publishing), aging couple Wendall and Ruby Forbes face the challenges of later life: contemplating past failures, battling loneliness, memory lapses, and more. When a blizzard strikes their isolated town in northern Ontario, an unexpected and eclectic group of strangers seeks refuge in their home.

Join us as David reads an excerpt where Wendall takes in a snow day from the couch, cozy, surrounded by new acquaintances, and free from the weight of expectation.
