I think everyone has a time where they just want to escape the every day. In this surprising new book I was able to review I caught the traveling bug myself. A delightful addition to the women’s fiction genre is Traveling Light by Lynne Branard. Definitely one you need to check out. Here are my thoughts.
Traveling Light by Lynne Branard
Publisher: Berkley (January 10, 2017)
ISBN-13: 978-1101989043
Driving from North Carolina to New Mexico with her three-legged dog, a strange manโs ashes, and a waitress named Blossom riding shotgun isnโt exactly what Alissa Wells ever wanted to be doing. But itโs exactly what she needs…
It all starts when Alissa impulsively puts a bid on an abandoned storage unit, only to become the proud new owner of Roger Hartโs remains. Two weeks later, she jumps in her car and heads west, thinking that returning the ashes of a dead man might be the first step on her way to a new life.
She isnโt wrong.
Especially when Blossom, who just graduated from high school, hitches a ride with her to Texas, and Alissa has to get used to letting someone else take the wheel. Posting about their road trip on Facebook, complete with photos of Roger at every stop, Blossom opens Alissaโs eyes to the road in front of herโand to how sometimes the best things in life are the ones you never see comingโฆ
Review of Traveling Light by Lynne Branard
The author has created a delightful and surprising read in this new book. A quirky, yet never boring story, we are asked to tag-along on this very special journey.
We get to follow along with Alyssa and her newfound friends she drives from North Carolina to New Mexico. Along the way she learns things about her life and herself from a very surprising young woman and other people she meets along the way. There may even be a bit of romance too. Yay!
This is the first book I have read by this author and I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of the story and the beautiful craftsmanship that led to this enlightening, lighthearted, and delightful read.
The author is a rather new addition to the women’s fiction genre but she captured me with this enthralling story. I fell in love with her writing and great storytelling ability. 5 stars!
