BOOK FEATURE
A Jagged Journey
Author: Irene Frances Olson
A Jagged Journey follows the story of Charlie, a too-trusting thirty-something-year-old high school teacher who thinks he knows what he wants until life radically alters his plans. It is the story of single mother, Hannah, and her young son, Sammy, content on their own but open to something more. And then there’s Gretchen, an educated professional whose thoughts and opinions are challenged at every turn when the cruelest of detours changes her life forever.
Irene Frances Olson, author of Requiem for the Status Quo, has written a new novel about disparate characters between the ages of seven and seventy-seven that will have you laughing and crying in equal measure when relationships come to an abrupt end and new relationships become valued connections that only a diverse and fragile world could produce. Her new novel is fiction that makes a difference in the way we relate to each other.
Ms. Olson paints a picture of what it is like for individuals to evolve and arrive at a place where hurt begets joy, smarts don’t necessarily equate to intelligence, and vulnerability guarantees increased strength. If you have ever hit speedbumps and roadblocks in your personal life, if your opinions and judgments about others have taken abrupt and unexpected turns, A Jagged Journey was written for and about you.
