2020
Cover art
September 1, 2021 Hannah E says:
"This story is about a lot of things, but mostly about idiots." This book will make you laugh and cry and feel everything in between.
Taken hostage by a failed bank robber while attending an open house, eight anxiety-prone strangers-- including a redemption-seeking bank director, two couples who would fix their marriages and a plucky octogenarian-- discover their unexpected common traits.

Head shot of Hannah E

Hannah E

I am a trainer and librarian. My joy for reading started at a young age while my mother read to me before bed each night. My favorite books are thrillers and historical fiction. Outside of the library, I enjoy board games, traveling and staying outside in the summer and inside in the winter.
