Tembi Locke’s Next Chapter

Tembi Locke returns with a brand new audio experience.

There’s no better way to celebrate the 6th year anniversary of From Scratch than with a special announcement from the author! Tembi Locke returns with a new audiobook, Someday, Now, recounting a summer spent returning to Sicily for a sun-drenched summer adventure. Read on to learn more about the inspiration behind this audio-only experience. Plus, get a sneek peak of the adventure in Tembi’s camera roll below.

“The creative starting point for Someday, Now came out of my longing to understand a big life inflection point, a child leaving home. Writing this audiobook was my way to reflect on the changing tides I found myself navigating as a parent in a newly blended family just as one chapter was closing and another was opening. Knowing the story would be an audio exclusive, it became essential to layer the storytelling with the textured summer sounds of Sicily. So, I didn’t just write… I listened. And I let the sounds of a beautiful, vibrant, ancient, and familiar place teach me about the nature of change. What emerged, Someday, Now,  is a ride-along love letter to family, place, and the possibility that is always around us. For listeners, I hope it starts conversations about the quiet courage of letting go so we can fully step forward, in our families, in our lives, in the world.” – Tembi Locke (Pre-Order Someday Now)

"I also hope that Group is a light for people who, like me before I started group, believe that personal transformation is impossible and feel resigned to a fate of loneliness, isolation, or misfit-ness. For those among us who fear they will die alone and unloved, my story is proof you can have another ending."

Group, by @christieotate, offers a powerful reminder that you are not alone in your mental health journey, and it’s okay to ask for help. Together, we are stronger 💙
"To me, happiness is a fleeting, heartbeat-to-heartbeat experience that comes and goes and hopefully comes back."
