Turner Grant

Turner Grant is an architect who lives in Washington DC. After a life-long battle with depression, his wife of twenty years took her own life the day after Mother’s Day in 2010. Widowed at age fifty-one and deep in grief, Turner often found daily routines difficult and his work arduous. But after two years, he embarked on a journey to find his future, both in life and love.

His journey is chronicled in his recently published book, To Venus and Back, One Man’s Quest to Rediscover Love. It’s a memoir about dating, relationships, and looking to find love again when Turner Grant—a former Congressional candidate and father of twin boys—never expected to be doing any such thing. Adventurous, intimate, revealing, voyeuristic, surprising, and funny like most dating memoirs, the book stands apart because of its heartbreakingly tragic back-story. It’s available now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever books are sold. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKS8GQHQ/

Memoir review excerpt: “Memoirs like this are exceptionally hard to come by, ones that take a topic familiar to many and dive deeply into the personal impact of the topic through a frank and open willingness to share by the author. Turner Grant leaves nothing off the table as he shares his odyssey through the world of mid-life digital dating, candidly writing about every experience ... Alongside this wonderful willingness to share is a gift for a particularly delightful brand of prose that allows the author to move seamlessly between the heavy and impactful moments of life and the lighter, more amusing moments.” – K.
