Within the course of a week,
Natalie is dumped by her husband, receives an urgent call home from her
father, and discovers her estranged sister is pregnant.
A road trip on Route 66 may not
help, but it sure couldn't hurt. Or so Natalie thinks, until Lindsay's
boyfriend starts stalking them. Will their trip down the Mother Road
bring the two sisters closer together or turn out to be the biggest
wrong turn yet?
I just finished reading The Mother Road, and I'm kind of glad it's over! :( It was definitely a slower-paced book, and there were many depressing undertones to the book: a mom who has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember one of her children, the sad dad who has to care for her, the main character's marriage that has crumbled after 18 years, and a lost-soul sister who is pregnant and unwed. Although it ends hopeful, it wasn't an extremely uplifting read. There are cute parts to the story, but overall I am glad this book is over. I am ready for a good read!
