| Opplysninger | 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. - Micah Mortimer er 44 år gammel og har en kjæreste, Cassia, som han ikke klarer å kalle for en kjæreste, så han kaller henne en jentevenn i stedet. Hans mange søstre og svogere ser på ham som merkelig, men elskverdig. Han tilbringer dagene med jobb, grundige vaskerutiner og en joggetur på slaget kvart over syv hver dag. Han klarer seg godt med det punktlige og rutinepregede livet sitt, men den perfekte balansen blir brutt når Cassia forteller at hun skal bli kastet ut av hjemmet sitt på grunn av en katt, og en rødhåret tenåring dukker opp på døra hans og forteller at han er sønnen hans. Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.
