I've Been Keeping a Secret!
Want to see my next book, releasing in March?!
Surprise!
I spent last Fall/Winter/Spring writing my 4th book…
Counterweights: An Essential Practice for Holding Hope in a Heavy World
It releases in March!
I didn’t plan to announce it quite this early, but word was sneaking out and I wanted you to hear about it from me. I can’t wait for you to meet this one!
Counterweights is an exploration on holding life’s struggles and joys - embracing ordinary delights so we can navigate the heaviness with honesty and hope. It’s the most Shannany book imaginable.
It’s a book of short personal essays (with lots of extra surprises!) with its eyes on both the pain and the promises. It’s quirky. It’s heavy and light. It’s Counterweights.
I’ll have plenty more to say about this in due time, including shameless pleas for pre-orders (which help ensure that retailers carry the book and stock plenty of copies.)
If you are dying to pre-order now, I won’t stop you!
Here are three options (for now…)
Thank you for being part of this open-hearted community and for supporting my work. I wrote this book with you in mind, and I know you’re going to love it.
Stay tuned!
Puffy clouds, peonies (and shadows - because this is real life) forever,
Shannan



Preordered! So excited to read this. Your words are always a gift.
I just preordered! This is the book we need (as my sister would say) yesternow ⚖️ And the fact that counterweights has its own emoji is everything.
