"Wendy J. Fox delivers a realistic, emotionally driven set of interlinked stories. Relatable, affecting, and at times absurd, this collection is for anyone who has felt frustrated at work." - Booklist Starred Review
"Fox's prose is laced with tenderness, exploring lives measured in acceptance, kindness and connection. Even while moving insightfully through the more alienating facets of office culture — networking parties, breakroom concerns — Fox invests most of all in what makes us people over workers: those closely held moments pregnant with change, when a new life could break open if we just reach for the person next to us." - New York Times
What If We Were Somewhere Else is a tragicomic new collection of linked short stories that follows the characters from strip clubs to booze cruises, through failing marriages and bad management, and even on a journey to the moon.
"In this connected collection of stories, Wendy J. Fox introduces us to an engaging medley of office coworkers, as well as their families, friends, and lovers. Fox's memorable narrations, ranging from eccentric to evocative, side-splitting to shocking, had me smiling, pondering, and turning the pages for more." - Cynthia Swanson, New York Times bestselling author of The Bookseller and The Glass Forest

Store description
Here at NW Book Rescue, we strive to keep used books and media out of landfills and in the hands of caring folks. Our team searches through pre-loved books and media to find you the gems: the old, the beautiful, the historic, the long lost favorites, the new centerpiece, the new-to you favorite read, watch, or listen. In the age of on-demand streaming, we believe in the preservation of physical media; there's nothing quite like the smell of an old book or the sound of a good record. We hope that you'll explore with us, find great treasures, and let us be a part of your used book and media experience. We also sell on Amazon and purchase/appraise books locally! We are located in Hubbard, Oregon and serve the Portland/Salem area. If you have any questions or are looking for something specific, shoot us a message: we are here to help!…
