The Side Road: Finding Joy and Purpose through the Twists and Turns of Life

by Link Forester

Overview

In The Side Road, author Link Forester shares his lessons learned about finding joy and purpose in the twists and turns of life. 

An unplanned pregnancy and a soulful choice began Link Forester’s marriage and fatherhood far earlier than he and Carla (or their families) expected—yet it was the beginning of their own side road of growth, faith, and responsibility. The Side Road winds through a risky but ultimately successful career change, the circus of family life, and the phone call that no parent is prepared to receive. 

Through hilarious and heartbreaking stories, Forester reveals that the secret to a happy and successful life is embracing life’s challenges instead of resisting them, in order to experience an uncommon buoyancy and optimism in the most difficult times. A storyteller at heart, Link Forester’s writing in The Side Road draws universal truths from his own experience and inspires readers to embrace their own side road, whatever that may be. For those whose lives have taken an unexpected turn, The Side Road offers a gentle invitation to pause, take the long view, and enjoy the ride.

After graduating from Auburn University(B.S. Building Construction, 1987), Link began his career in sales at IBM. Five years later he took a leap of faith into the financial services industry, where he continues to lead a thriving financial planning and wealth management business.

A native of Atlanta, GA, Link is an avid golfer and member of Perimeter Church. He and his wife Carla spend much of their free time on Lake Lanier with their three children, two daughters-in-law, three grandchildren, as well as their dog Bailey, their cat Boots, and plenty of good wine.
