Lancaster, OH, April 11, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Fulton Books author Emily Stalder Johnson has completed her most recent book, “Reconciling Reality”: a gripping and compelling tale that follows one young teen as he struggles with his life’s most difficult challenges after being sent away from the only home he’s ever known to live with his uncle and begins to build a strong relationship with him.

Currently residing in Lancaster, Ohio, with her husband Mark, author Emily Stalder Johnson is most passionate about writing on topics that are meaningful, relevant, and compelling to her and her readers, incorporating encouragement and hope into all her books while maintaining an honest and realistic approach to these topics.

“Blaine Sullivan’s world has turned upside down,” writes Johnson. “Torn away from his hidden sanctuary—the alluring woods behind his house—the sixteen-year-old’s frazzled, abused mother takes him away from his unstable father who struggles with his anger and alcoholism.

“Now in an unpleasant change of scenery that is his mom’s older brother’s house, hours away from home, Blaine realizes his summer will be anything but fun. Blaine endures his uncle’s sour attitude and harsh insults—until Brandon begins to come around. Blaine is shocked, but he welcomes Uncle Brandon’s kinder approach toward him. His father’s abusive outbursts during and after binge-drinking are as unbearable as Blaine’s awareness that his father lives in a constant state of denial. But things soon start looking up for Blaine. He befriends the boy living next door to Uncle Brandon, and in spite of a few rocky spells here and there, Blaine and Brandon begin to form a strong bond.

“Then, out of nowhere, his world comes crashing down harder than ever right after a concerning diagnosis and his mother’s disappearance.”
