Traveling Light

From the New York Times best-selling author and "masterful storyteller" behind The Art of Arranging Flowers comes a new novel about the search for what really matters in life.

Driving from North Carolina to New Mexico with her three-legged dog, a strange man's ashes, and a waitress named Blossom riding shotgun isn't exactly what Alissa Wells ever wanted to be doing. But it's 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 Hart's 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 isn't 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 Alissa's eyes to the road in front of her - and to how sometimes the best things in life are the ones you never see coming.

Enjoyable Story

The storyline was unique and I enjoyed the characters. It was in-depth enough to make me daydream about a road trip. The narrator did well with the transitions and had a pleasant southern accent. I will read/listen to other books by the author and narrator.
