About this ebook

The story takes place at a picturesque inn on Orchard Lake in southeast Michigan. It features the couple who own the inn and seven very different, interesting, flawed and sometimes funny characters who all come together to help and support each other through the pandemic. Several minor characters also round out the story and provide depth and perspective to the novel. Actual pandemic developments interwoven with the fictional story add a high degree of realism.

This first novel for Leland is a carefully researched book which magnificently weaves together the events of the 2020 pandemic with gripping fictional events, dynamic believable characters, engrossing dialogue, and vividly beautiful descriptions. The novel provides a realistic but surprising answer to how life proceeds in the “After-Times.”
