Caitlin Shetterly, The Gulf of Lions, and Lauren Schott, Very Slowly All at Once

Caitlin Shetterly wrote about a mom with breast cancer in The Gulf of Lions , a follow-up to Pete and Alice in Maine . Then, in a strange plot twist, she got breast cancer herself. It’s hard to believe Caitlin’s diagnosis came after the fact because the emotions are so visceral and descriptive in the story. It’s like it had already happened. The plot centers on a mom taking her two teen/tween daughters to France for the summer after her husband cheated on her — and the unexpected twists and turns of the trip. Themes include family, secrets, trust, lust, and the joy of travel. Lauren and I spoke about her novel, Very Slowly All at Once , about a couple who starts getting mysterious checks in the mail. The husband is an out-of-work professor who finds out something odd when visiting his mother in her post-stroke home. The wife is desperate to find excitement. What happens next? Read and find out. ** If you enjoy recommending things you love and even earning from it, you have to become a creator on ShopMy! You'll be able to see that your recommendations matter.
