"Reaching My Reading Goal for 2019"

I set a goal of trying to read 100 books by December 31,  2019. Today I started my 100th book by Christine Nolfi, "The Road She Left Behind". I decided to give my eyes a well deserved break and am listening to the story. I don't very often listen to books, but decided to celebrate my 100 book of 2019 by listening to it. 
It is an interesting story..."Crushed by guilt over the car accident that killed her father and sister, and torn apart by her mother’s resentment, Darcy Goodridge fled her family estate nine years ago and hasn’t looked back. Now an unexpected phone call threatens to upend what little serenity she’s found. Her nephew, Emerson, who was just a baby when his mother died, has gone missing. Darcy must return home and face her past in order to save him.

Once back in Ohio, Darcy realizes there’s more to Emerson’s disappearance—and to her mother, Rosalind’s, sudden retirement—than meets the eye. As she works to make inroads with Rosalind, Darcy begins to unravel a decades-old secret that devastated her family and forced a wedge between her and Michael Varano, the man she left heartbroken when she vanished after the funeral. After carrying the scars of that fateful night for almost a decade, Darcy is determined to find closure, healing, and maybe even love where she lost them all in the first place—right back home where she belongs." (Goodreads)  


My Thoughts...

After many interruptions, I got the story listened to. It was nice to listen and give my eyes a rest. Also, I could multitask while listening. As I said I don't often listen to books, but since I enjoyed this one, I also decided to listened to my next book also. More to come...

    1. Thanks, Winifred. I'm having trouble trying to listen to this book. I have to many family interruptions, and it drives me bananas. I love listening to books but very seldom do because of the interruptions.
