Raison D’Etre: The Balloon

This is John Gotimer’s first novel. A video producer/editor by day, John took his desire to share ＂the wonderful things I see above my backyard＂ and turned it into this book. ＂It was New Year’s Day, 2015 and I saw a party balloon drifting across the sky. I imagined all that that balloon had seen the night before and began writing at that moment.＂ John lives on Long Island with his wife and three children, and has a passion for his yard and the things that happen above it.
