Can't wait Wednesday-Somewhere Above it All

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This week I am sharing a book that is extra special to me. It is written by a friend I made years ago when we were both living in Singapore. Writing and getting a book published has been a dream of hers for quite a few years and I am excited to see her dream come true. This week I am thrilled to share Somewhere Above it All by Holli Fawcett Clayton, it is expected to release January 11, 2022. I can't wait to get my hands on it!!!

Isn't the cover gorgeous??

About the book (from Goodreads):

Self-Discovery on Mount Kilimanjaro

​Devastated by her husband’s death from opioid abuse, small-town widow Marren Halleck travels to Tanzania to summit the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. Along her trek through the ever-changing scenery of the mountain, Marren finds hope for a new beginning and forms a special connection with her climbing team, including a mysterious cowboy named Chris. Her promising path forward is derailed, however, when she discovers that Chris isn’t who she thinks he is, and she must search inside herself to learn how to truly stand on her own.

In her debut novel, Somewhere Above It All, author Holli Fawcett Clayton takes us on a breathless expedition through nature and brilliantly captures the restorative power of human connection in her poignant portrayal of Marren’s struggle with grief. Readers will be captivated by Marren’s riveting journey to overcome her painful past and find the happiness she longs for.

    1. We camped in Amboselli, near Kilimanjaro, but didn't attempt to climb it (we had a 4 year old and not quite 2 year old with us, would have been even more difficult!).

    1. Hi Lisa, good luck with your aspirations, I hope you see your dream come true as well! I love writing blog posts but books are much harder and I appreciate the process and what all goes into it. It's one of the reasons I always try to be positive in my reviews, I know the author has worked hard and they totally have my respect.
