A Turn in the Road, #44

Ahhh... another trip to Blossom Street.  Except, this was actually a road trip from Seattle to Florida, with a grandma/ex-mother in law headed for her 50th high school reunion and an old lover, a mom/ex-daughter in law trying to think through some hard decisions about her ex-husband, and a daughter/granddaughter whose boyfriend just dumped her instead of proposing to her like she thought he was!!!  Needless to say, they all had a lot to work through.  The trip took them via Las Vegas, Branson, New Orleans where adventure was around every "turn", including finding old friends, a motorcycle gang who ended up rescuing them, love in an unexpected place, and a 1960s prom remade in the matter of one day!!!  I have liked all these Blossom Street books, but this one rates right under Hannah's List for me!!!

Sometimes, where you think you're going isn't where you end up…

In the middle of the year, in the middle of her life, Bethanne Hamlin takes a road trip with her daughter, Annie, and her former mother-in-law, Ruth.
They're driving to Florida for Ruth's 50th high school reunion. A longtime widow, Ruth would like to reconnect with Royce, the love of her teenage life. She's heard he's alone, too.…
Bethanne needs time to reflect on a decision she has to make—whether or not to reconcile with her ex-husband, Grant, her children's father.
Meanwhile, Annie's out to prove to her onetime boyfriend that she can live a brilliant life without him!
So there they are, three women driving across America. They have their maps and their directions—but even the best-planned journey can take you to a turn in the road. Or lead to an unexpected encounter—like the day Bethanne meets a man named Max.…  (picture and description from amazon.com)


Only one more book left in the Blossom Street series, then I will have to let them go.  I am loving Debbie Macomber's style and I'd love to read more of her stuff, but if I add it to my list of books to read before I die ... well, I'm already afraid I'm going to die before I finish the list I have already!!
