Questions and Quarantine
2020
One virus…
Stopped the world in its tracks.
It was a frightening, baffling reality, for which we were entirely unprepared.
Relationships were strained, finances were devastated, fear ran rampant for some, others couldn’t believe it was actually happening.
It is in times like these that we have to pull together, and do our part to help each other weather the storm.
When Author, Summer Prescott, received messages from readers, expressing dismay and disbelief, she wanted to do something to help them process what was happening in the world around them, while giving vent to the very fears that she had, herself. Questions and Quarantine addresses that.
Written over a two week period, this book walks hand in hand with some of Summer Prescott’s most beloved characters, as they struggle to cope with their new reality.
Yes, there are tears. Yes, there are scary moments. But, characteristic of Summer’s writing and the Cozy Mystery genre, there is also hope, and light at the end of the tunnel.
This book, which celebrates medical personnel and first responders, will take you through the wringer, but the hope is, that, by the end, it will also bring you peace.
