“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.” – Lauren Destefano

Tara Badstubner’s debut novel deals with difficult

Tara Badstubner’s debut novel deals with difficult subjects (grief after losing a spouse/depression) and centers around SJ following the loss of her husband in a tragic accident. Set between Sleepy Hollow, New York where SJ lived with her husband Wyatt and Beaufort, South Carolina where SJ travels to complete her work on the renovations of the Osprey House, we are immediately swept away into the story from the very first page.

SJ leaves behind everything she knew, including her newfound friend, Avery, who works at the local Wendy’s by night and studies for MA in family therapy by day, to return to Beaufort, her hometown.

It soon becomes clear that her husband’s dog, Hawk isn’t the only one who came along for the ride.

Join me for an inside look into Every Room Remembers in this Q&A with author Tara Badstubner, where she shares about the inspiration for the novel, how the characters continue to live on in her imagination, and an inside look into what she’s writing next.
