The Reluctant Blogger

When thirty-eight-year-old Todd Landry loses his wife to a sudden aneurysm, his psychiatrist assigns him to blog nightly about his life. Through funny, heartbreaking entries, Todd navigates awkward single-adult dances, a demanding pioneer-proud father, a rebellious teenage daughter, a best friend hiding a painful secret, and a beautiful redhead who might be his second chance. A warm, humorous, and honest look at faith, grief, judgment, and forgiveness in contemporary Latter-day Saint life.

• A widower who thinks 'Blogging is Stupid!!!' accidentally writes his way back to life—funny, honest, and unexpectedly moving.
• Tackles subjects most LDS fiction won't touch: a gay best friend, antidepressants, and the shame of seeing a therapist—with warmth, not preaching.
• 'How differently would we act if the Golden Rule was the only rule?' A story that invites Latter-day Saints to choose love over judgment.
• Perfect for anyone who has grieved: the pain is real, but so is the laughter.

“The first week, you made one entry and one entry only. And I quote, 'Blogging is Stupid!!!'”

Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint reader who enjoys warm, character-driven fiction that laughs at and lovingly examines Mormon culture while wrestling with real questions about grief, judgment, and compassion.
