I
got really involved in this story. However, it is not a happy go lucky kind of
story. You follow two characters, Ed and
Jess, whose lives seem to have a lot of downs and not a lot of ups. Ed makes a decision that at first seemed like
a good idea, but he did not really think about the consequences. Now he is looking at possible prison time. He has had a failed marriage and several
unhappy relationships, and his life decisions make him feel like he is way
behind everyone else he knows. Then
there is Jess, who is a single mom of two, trying to keep a positive outlook on
everything. She can’t seem to get ahead
financially, works all the time and has a gifted child looking at private
school. Her son is having a really hard
time with the local bully and is closing himself off to everyone. Ed, Jess and her two kids end up on a journey
together that should only have taken a few hours. Instead, it stretches out to several days. You will laugh and you will feel like crying
for these characters, but you will definitely want to find out what happens to
them. I really recommend listening to this
book; the narrators were excellent and it was a pleasure to listen to.
