After meeting at a boatman’s bash on the Snake River, river runners Maddy and Dalt embark on a lifelong love affair. They marry on the banks of the Buffalo Fork, sure they’ll live there the rest of their days. Forced by the economics of tourism to leave Wyoming, they start a new adventure, opening their own river business in Ashland, Oregon: Halfmoon Whitewater. They prosper there, leading rafting trips and guiding fishermen into the wilds of Mongolia and Russia. But when Maddy, laid low by dizzy spells, with a mono that isn’t quite mono, both discovers she is pregnant and is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, they realize their adventure is just beginning.

Navigating hazards that dwarf any of the rapids they’ve faced together, Maddy narrates her life with Dalt the way she lives it: undaunted, courageous, in the present tense. Driven by her irresistible voice, full of wit and humor and defiance, If Not For This is a love story like no other.

As a teenager pretty much left to raise herself, Lucy Diamond is a narrator with a radiant yet guarded heart. As she races at breakneck pace toward womanhood, everything is at stake for her, producing an urgency and dread that she holds at bay with humor and grace. But while Lucy charges ahead, her mother's youth is fading. Simultaneously embracing and resisting their similarities, Fromm reveals both women's emotional vulnerabilities and their deep mutual need. Conveyed through dialogue that is both laugh-aloud-funny and true, Lucy stands out in contemporary literature for her large heart and inimitable grit.

The striking debut novel from award-winning writer Pete Fromm

Abilene and Austin, a sister and brother frustrated with the small-town Texas life their parents have chosen, turn to each other to escape the story they're all too tired of hearing: their father's unvarying account of "How All This Started"-how he met their mother then settled down in the middle of nowhere.

Pinning her dreams on her younger brother, Abilene becomes dead-set on making Austin a pitching star, a "fireballer" like Nolan Ryan. Swept up in her irresistible exuberance, they try, with baseball and firearms, to combat the stagnation of the Texas landscape--so fiercely it's uncertain whether either of them will survive Abilene's manic dreams.

Introducing one of the most memorable female characters in contemporary literature, How All This Started portrays with strength and subtlety the visceral bond between a brother and sister.

When Taz's wife, Marnie, dies during childbirth, Taz is left not only brokenhearted but left to care for their newborn daughter, Midge. Although he feels very much alone, he is not. A host of friends and family come to his side to help him adjust to fatherhood, single parenthood, and his new life. The prose is direct and honest and hits your gut. A Job You Mostly Won't Know How to Do is a love story supreme: the love of a man for his wife and child, a mother for her daughter, platonic love, new love, and the love of a community for their neighbors and for the land they call home." —Michelle Malonzo, Changing Hands Bookstore (Tempe, AZ) «Pete Fromm weaves an amazing and intricate look at how humans deal with grief, loss, and love. Fromm's grasp of how the inner monologue expresses itself sets this book apart. The story follows Taz, a single father, working through the death of his wife and becoming a brand-new father to baby Midge. With a supporting cast of characters as colorful as the Montana sunset, this story is rich in love and heartbreak and will rock you to your core.» —Shawn Wathen, Chapter One Book Store (Hamilton, MT) «Pete Fromm writes visceral stories that dive the reader deep into an emotional landscape of change. When fatherhood arrives for Taz, he is unprepared to take on the task as a widower, and as the first two years of his daughter's life unfold, so does his grief’s many complicated layers. Told with Fromm’s wealth of emotional depth and understanding of the Montana landscape, these are characters that will sink deep into your reading memory.» –Jesica Sweedler DeHart, Neill Public Library (Pullman, WA)
