SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE WORLD TOOK A WRONG TURN ... WHAT IF IT DID?

For one man, the past few years have been a downward spiral. A series of unexplained seizures. The sudden loss of his mother. The rise of a fascist leader and a successful coup to retain power-a nightmare that unfolds through endless doomscrolling online and grows worse by the day. But there's a way out.

Explore alternate realities and the paths not taken in this thought-provoking novel about a man who discovers he's living in the wrong timeline and seeks to escape a dystopian life that readers will find eerily familiar. Take a trip through alternate presents that could soon become our future. And find an answer to the biggest question of all: what matters most in a world that's spinning out of control?

Read the controversial Amazon bestseller about facing the constant anxieties of the twenty-first century, the thin line that separates comfort from chaos, and the role fate plays in our lives. Branches is perfect for readers of mind-bending books like Dark Matter and The Midnight Library that ask readers to consider how life could have gone very differently.
