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

Review:

"On a Someday is about the dreams we all have and wonder if we'll they'll ever come true. Roxanne Henke is a master at writing stories about deep friendships and family relationships, and each of her books has been filled with memorable characters that live on after you turn the last page."
--Ane Mulligan, NovelJourney.blogspot.com

"A Henke book always gives me pause. Each has its own measure of wisdom to impart. And it is often life-changing to the reader. To this reader, in particular.

"On a Someday was a delightful page-turner as well. I got caught up in the stories of Claire, Jim, and Drew, entering their world with curiosity and making myself at home. When it was time to say good-bye, I felt like the guest who wouldn't leave. If it is possible to be filled with satisfied regret, that would describe me as I closed the book."
--Cathy Elliott, author of A Vase of Mistaken Identity
