We will discuss How Not to Die Alone ( also published as Something to Live For) by Richard Roper. Download a copy of the ebook or audiobook from Wisconsin's Digital Library (Libby). You may also stop by the second-floor Reference desk to check out a copy from the library. I look forward to discussing this title with you in person in the Shattuck Community Room.
Government worker and model train enthusiast Andrew is grateful for his job, even though it involves locating the next-of-kin of people who die alone. It's not lost on him that he may die alone in his sad apartment with his trains, but owing to a misunderstanding that he never corrected, his boss and coworkers believe he's happily married with children. Andrew is used to the charade, but when he and Peggy, his unhappily married new colleague, begin to click, he has a big problem. He's faced with another quandary when his boss insists that each member of the team host a dinner party. Will Andrew fess up and risk losing the trust of his colleagues, or will he prolong the sham and never have a chance of happiness with Peggy? ~Library Journal
