About the Book Tandem Cottage

From Multi-Award-winning and Bestselling Author, Carrie Fancett Pagels

Newly minted computer science graduate, Alyssa, has plans to obtain work and finally live independently with her son. Summer programming for Alyssa’s son, who has Asperger’s, is tossed when his biological father and new wife, an attorney, insist on summer visitation. With her plans completely upended, Alyssa pursues a job on Mackinac Island with the hopes of acquiring an internship. Young widower, Carter, who has suffered the tragic loss of his wife, is working remotely on Mackinac Island as a computer programmer and hires Alyssa as a nanny for his baby girl.

Susan, a social worker with unknown links to Alyssa, is also Carter’s former group therapist. Susan consults at a Mackinac Island summer-long retreat as she mulls retirement options.

With Alyssa’s estranged grandmother a famous television evangelist, Susan’s mother the senior-most congressional representative, and a mysterious artist all adding their dramatic flair to the Mackinac Island mix, what could go wrong?

My Thoughts on Tandem Cottage

Sometimes I want a book I can just snuggle under a blanket with.  A book that isn’t going to require me to solve a mystery or use a lot of brain power.  A book that can just let me read and let me zone out.  

This is one such book. 

I’ve always wanted to visit Mackinac Island.  It’s on my someday list.  So are a lot of other places, mostly with lighthouses.  In this book, I got to lose myself in the lives of the characters and see where life was going to take them. 

Life on the island offers a bit of a slower pace.  There are no cars, only horses and wagons or bikes to ride or paths to walk.  It seems idyllic.  But what would it actually be like to live this way?  This book gives you a glimpse of that life, it’s not perfect and bad things still can happen.   

So, cuddle down, grab a hot drink, and snuggle in to visit with people as they live their lives and try to life their lives the best they can.
