Blind Bend
The Stately Elm is one of the finest arborists in the Northeast. Pruning damaged trees is what he does best. After attending Cranberry's wedding, however, he begins imagining a future that includes more than his work.
Fate has other plans.
Before he can figure out what that future looks like, two young boys, a determined artist, and a music student whose plans were uprooted by tragedy turn his carefully ordered world upside down. Suddenly, The Stately Elm discovers that growing a family takes a lot more patience than growing a forest.
Finding his happily ever after may be waiting just around the Blind Bend.

Wow, Just Wow!
I have read and reread the Technicians series (frequently) and each book just keeps getting better. The characters continue to be well developed, the story line rich and engaging and the pace is good. With Blind Bend, there are many great analogies between life and the growth and care of trees, as well as the technicians’ work being equal to that of an accountant “balancing the books”.
Lots of great stuff in this book; not just entertainment but considerable things to ponder about life, life decisions, the definition of family and love.
Looks like we have more “trees” coming is future books and as the series progresses, hopefully “storms” in the future too. Such great reading pleasure.

Blind Bend, an excellent read!
This Technician book is chocked full of family drama, recently found brothers solidifying their brotherhood and becoming a certified family unit that includes found family that fit seamlessly together inspiring other Technicians to seek their own brand of family. It appears that the wedding of The Cranberry and The Mustang, opened up a world for other Technicians to find peace and family to counteract the dark loneliness associated with their covert government jobs. I enjoyed reading the story of The Stately Elm and how he found the perfect family that makes him whole!
