Turtle Heaven

by Joshua Culley

Josh thought he had his life figured out: a successful business, a loving wife, and three spirited daughters. But when he receives a text that his estranged father is dying, his world is upended. Compelled by duty and unresolved emotions, Josh drives his family to his father's side, leading to seven days of revelations and confrontations.

“Josh is an EXCELLENT writer. His ability to expound and give the reader the understanding of the room or any other place he is describing is exceptional. He does an excellent job of writing about the extremely "hot" topic of gender and putting a face on the reality of pain and hurt in this world. I will read any other book that Josh publishes.” — Steve Walsman · Goodreads · on Turtle Heaven
