My book TIME TO LET GO is now available on Amazon,
slightly ahead of my intended release date of May 15th, but I am not complaining.
Time to Let Go is a contemporary family drama set in Britain.
Following a traumatic incident at work Stewardess Hanna Korhonen decides to take time off work and leaves her home in London to spend quality time with her elderly parents in rural England. There she finds that neither can she run away from her problems, nor does her family provide the easy getaway place that she has hoped for. Her mother suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease and, while being confronted with the consequences of her issues at work, she and her entire family are forced to reassess their lives.
The book takes a close look at family dynamics and at human nature in a time of a crisis. Their challenges, individual and shared, take the Korhonens on a journey of self-discovery and redemption.
Quotes from the first reviews:
“This achingly beautiful swan song is honest, poignant, and ultimately uplifting.”
“A compelling, entertaining, and heartfelt story”
“A must read for anyone that has dealt with Alzheimer’s”. “The book allows us to see this disease for what it is”
“Have kleenex on hand and know that this emotional story will stay with you, but it is worth the tears.”
“A heart-felt and realistic story.”
“Simply one of the best books I have ever read.”
“A moving and insightful tale”
“An engaging story of how life can get in the way of the things that should really matter and the things that your heart should hold on to”
“Christoph Fischer has done an amazing job with a difficult subject. He shows a lot of understanding of human nature and a great deal of insight.”
“A very difficult subject handled beautifully and with delicate sensitivity. Bravo!”
“A fabulous, thought-provoking read,”
“Time to Let Go touched me.” “A truly wonderful, brave story.”
“The scenes with both elders were frighteningly realistic. This sometimes heart-wrenching story is one not to miss.“
The book received also phenomenal attention from several book bloggers:

Looking forward to reading it Christopher. I’m struggling with an 83 year old father in law with Alzheimer’s and it’s so sad.
Good luck, and may many be enlightened by your story.
