An Amazon Top Ten Book of May 2019

Five-time winner of the Pacific Northwest Bookseller Award Pete Fromm returns with his big-hearted new novel, a love story about family and resiliency and second chances. For young couple Taz and Marnie, their fixer-upper is the symbol of their new life together: a work in progress, the beginning of something grand, all the more so when they learn a baby is on her way. But the blueprint for the perfect life eludes Taz when Marnie dies in childbirth, plummeting the taciturn carpenter headfirst into the new, strange world of fatherhood alone, a landscape of contradictions, of great joy and sorrow. With a supporting cast as rich and compelling as the wild Montana landscape, the novel follows Taz's first two years as a father―a job no one can be fully prepared for.

With more than eleven books in over twenty years, Pete Fromm has become one of the West’s best literary legends. A Job You Mostly Won’t Know How To Do beautifully captures people who end up building a life that is both unexpected and brave.

Review:
An Amazon Best Book of May 2019: For Taz and his wife, Marnie, the fixer-upper they buy is symbolic of so much about them and where they are in life. It’s a work in progress, the first step in the life they hope to build together. And when they learn Marnie is pregnant during the renovation, it is one more piece falling into place. But their grand plan to build the perfect life falls apart when Marnie dies in childbirth. Now Taz must navigate first-time fatherhood alone, mentally clinging to the shattered remains of how he thought his life would be, with barely enough time or mental energy to cope with the way it’s turned out. A carpenter by trade, Taz is used to fixing and making, but this is an ordeal he can’t fix or make conform to plan. Pete Fromm excels at showing how everyday people cope with tragedy and endure what they cannot evade. A Job You Mostly Won't Know How to Do is a quietly elegant novel about working through grief and loss by putting one foot in front of the other and about letting people into your broken places to comfort and to heal you. —Vannessa Cronin
