Author Barbara Hatlaban’s New Book, “The Circle,” is an Intriguing Novel About a Troubled Marriage with a Valuable Lesson at Its Core
Author Barbara Hatlaban lived in various places growing up but considers her hometown to be Long Prairie, Minnesota. She moved to New York City in her twenties to work at LaGuardia Airport and met her husband there. Barbara and Steve raised twins in Indianapolis. Barbara was an airline ticket agent, and Steve was a chef. They spent most of their working years in Indianapolis but, after retirement, left the snow belt for sunny South Carolina. The pandemic of 2020 struck after Barbara and Steve relocated. “The Circle” was born as a pandemic project.
Barbara begins, “Ouch! My foot hit a patch of wet leaves, and I went down hard on my back. Blue skies. White clouds. Right where they should be. I lay there for just a moment, staring at the sky, my head ringing. Every child under the age of twelve in the town of Gibeah must have been out in the field that afternoon, celebrating a perfect spring day. I got up, shook my head, and rubbed my scraped elbow. I quickly grabbed my stick as the tightly rolled ball of rags came my way. The ball was in the control of one of the larger boys. He was pretty fast, but I was faster. I darted out with my stick, inserted myself practically under his arm, and whacked the ball away from him. The ball was mine, and it changed direction with a swat of my stick.”

Likewise now available on Kindle.
Likewise is a story built in the spaces between words. About presence that feels too precise. About the kind of recognition you sense before you can name it. About the second meeting that changes the first.
It’s a quiet, atmospheric read—an echo passed between two people who understand each other without needing to explain. A mirrored feeling. A soft shift. A connection that lingers not because it’s forced, but because it belongs.
If you love subtlety, emotional precision, and stories that move gently but stay with you, Likewise is ready for you now.
