SYNOPSIS:
The true story of a California couple on the brink of separation, who unexpectedly find love again on the Italian Riviera.

DESCRIPTION:
Tired of each other and completely disillusioned with married life, Susan and Tim Pohlman are wrapping up a business trip in Italy. They have just one day left to spend together with no agenda before they go home to California, to start divorce proceedings and finally move onto separate lives.

But during their last day as they walked along the Italian Riviera, Tim fantasized aloud that, perhaps, they could live there. Susan initially dismissed the notion as nonsense, but found herself inexplicably overwhelmed with a desire to give the marriage another try. Defying all logic, the couple found a school for their children and signed a lease for an apartment. Their therapist called it “an elaborate scheme of avoidance at best.”

But maybe, Susan thought, a life in such a charmed setting could help them find their way back to each other.

“Halfway to Each Other” is the remarkable true story of a family who traded their breakneck Los Angeles pace for a slower, relaxed life, and in the process, found abundant room for adventure and love. This is a book to be savored as you dream of unplugging the telephone, television and computer, and instead, spending time with your family…be it cooking, playing, even riding on the back of a Vespa.

I am so excited about this book, and can’t wait to spread the word about it! This is Susan Pohlman’s first book, and the passages here are warm, funny and relatable.
