Review
This book is a great book focusing on family and the power of forgiveness.
This book is about 2 sisters and their mom. One flighty and ready to try anything, one steady who plans their life and one who is against change or anything un-ladylike. The 3 cram into a car and set out on a road-trip full of books, pit-stops and healing that they weren’t ready for.
This book is a simple read. It’s about forgiveness, love and family. It is a great novel for young ladies 14 and up. Very clean, with a tiny bit of romance, but a bigger focus on the importance of family. There are some hard topics in the book. Mention of not eating enough but the word anorexia isn’t used. Mention of trauma from family and the healing that needs to happen.
Overall, a great book. Though not a light and fluffy read, this book will make you feel the love and heartbreak! -The Young Llama Reader.
Pros
- A great book for ladies 14 and up!
Cons
- Some hard topics…
Chloe Vance, dreamer of the family, needs to tell her pragmatic mom, Edie, that she has accepted a low-paying art instructor role at a Christian school in Prague. Her older sister, Lauren–the “responsible one”–is doing all she can to hide the fact she’s been fired for a foolish mistake and is desperately seeking her next career move. Meanwhile, Edie, estranged from her own sister following their mother’s recent death, is frankly in no mood for anything else to change.
The one thing they can all agree on? Life in books sure is easier to navigate than life in the real world. As the three women embark on a nine-day road trip to visit significant literary sites throughout America’s heartland, they hope to find inspiration through the works and lives of literary greats. As they experience firsthand the adventure and wonder of the classics, they’ll discover the value of being honest with themselves–and their family–about their losses and failures. Only then can they come to terms with their own needs and desires and find support from the most important women in their lives–each other.
