From the bestselling author of A Spool of Blue Thread: an offbeat love story about mis-steps
second chances and the elusive art of human connection Micah Mortimer isn't the most polished
person you'll ever meet. His numerous sisters and in-laws regard him oddly but very fondly but
he has his ways and means of navigating the world. He measures out his days running errands for
work - his TECH HERMIT sign cheerily displayed on the roof of his car - maintaining an
impeccable cleaning regime and going for runs (7:15 every morning). He is content with the
steady balance of his life. But then the order of things starts to tilt. His woman friend
Cassia (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a 'girlfriend') tells him she's facing
eviction because of a cat. And when a teenager shows up at Micah's door claiming to be his son
Micah is confronted with another surprise he seems poorly equipped to handle. Redhead by the
Side of the Road is an intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who sometimes finds those
around him just out of reach - and a love story about the differences that make us all unique.
