You loved What Heals the Heart. Now, join the gang for more adventure and fun in Sticks and Stones, Book Two in the Pullman Station Series.
Growing up is never easy. Neither is growing old.
Everett Coleman lives alone. The quiet, charming widower of the neighborhood is adored by everyone and appears happy. But his eyes hint at something more, something painful—something Everett would just as soon keep to himself.
When presented with the opportunity to help a young neighbor boy, Everett jumps at the chance. But when that boy begins to share his middle school trials, things hit a little too close to home, and Everett struggles with a past he’s trying hard to forget. Can he come to terms with his demons while helping a pre-teen navigate the complexities of an ever-more complicated world or is he doomed to live in silent regret for the remainder of his days?
Sticks and Stones recounts the tales of multigenerational friendships, a small town choosing sides, a young boy's transformative journey toward manhood, and continues the remarkable tale of two friends attempting to capture history as it slips through their fingers. Let the magic and warm, relatable characters of the Maple Street neighborhood envelop you once more as Everett and the rest of the gang navigate the labyrinth of a changing world and grapple with the impermanence of time, treasuring the intergenerational bonds their tight-knit neighborhood created.
Get your copy of Sticks and Stones today and join your Maple Street neighbors, who eagerly await your return.
About the Author: Jen Telger is a writer and avid people-watcher who loves to figure out what makes people tick. She believes the beauty of writing lies in her stories expanding exponentially as readers make them their own, finding solace, inspiration, familiarity, and new adventures in which to play.Having grown up in the small Midwestern town of Winona, MN, she has a keen eye for quirky characters, what makes a town a community, and the you-won't-believe-this quality of stories that happen when residents upset the local apple cart. In her Best Seller and #1 New Release debut novel, What Heals the Heart, readers are treated to the down-home realism of small-town life that Telger experienced growing up in the mid-80s. The nostalgic free-range days of yesteryear that just can't be found anymore come alive on her pages. In Sticks and Stones, Book Two of the Pullman Station Series, she invites you to discover just what it is that makes these people who they are. Telger currently resides outside of Madison, WI, with her hubby, two children, and two miniature Schnauzers. When she's not working on the next installment of life in Pullman Station, she can be found puttering in her gardens, playing with her cameras, designing homes, browsing bookstores, creating fantastic worlds in Minecraft, and drinking way too much chocolate milk (a.k.a. Elixir of Life). She is available for Book Clubs, podcasts, interviews, and event talks. You can find Telger on Facebook at Jen Telger Books, Instagram @JenTelger_Writer, and email at Jentelgerbooks@jentelger.com.
