A novel of quiet courage, late love, and second chances 

When Josiah Everhart arrives at Maplewood Memory & Long-Term Care, he’s not looking for connection. A retired literature professor with ALS, Josiah has made peace with silence—or so he thinks. But inside Room 112, amid the antiseptic routines and faded bulletin boards, something unexpected begins to take root: life. 

Between awkward breakfasts and slow hallway rides, Josiah crosses paths with Eleanor, a woman with mismatched socks, blue paint on her wrists, and a past she shares in poems. She’s unpredictable as weather and twice as hard to ignore. Around them, the facility hums with quiet drama: Maria, the intuitive young nurse who sees more than she says; Sam, a ninety-eight-year-old prankster with a beard like a prophet’s; and Eddie, Josiah’s son, grappling with the grief and relief of stepping back. 

Told with wry humor, lyrical language, and a tenderness that sneaks up on you, The Weather in Room 112 is a celebration of late-in-life transformation—of how stories get rewritten, dignity reclaimed, and love reimagined in the most unlikely places. 

Perfect for fans of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, A Man Called Ove, and Still Alice, this novel invites you to believe that even at the edge of things, life still makes room for grace.
