Description

A miracle has come to Sparkling Pond, Minnesota.

Memorable objects from Aspen Collins’ childhood are appearing in the town square, accompanied by notes in her father’s handwriting. The notes relate to things happening in her life now. But that’s impossible—Aspen's father is in a coma.

The miracle brings chaos in the form of a ghost hunter, three different factions of people with conflicting beliefs about the miracle, and a television reporter who Aspen finds herself falling for. But when everything comes to a head, an impossible choice must be made. And the consequences of either decision could be too much to bear.

An enchanting follow-up to Siple’s award-winning debut, The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride, The Town with No Roads is a story of forgiveness and redemption that explores whether unconditional love should hold us close or set us free.

The world needs more stories like this one! It’s a powerful story of forgiveness on many different levels.

I am only giving it a 4 because there were times when a new section began too abruptly and I couldn’t place where the characters were. Also because it felt too choppy, the way the story was told from so many characters’ points of view. There was also one scene (43% of the way thru according to my Kindle) where the conversation began between Claire and Jamison, but the ending of that scene was of Claire and Aspen. That was totally jarring to me.

However, I truly felt emotionally connected to Jamison and to Aspen, along with Holly and Claire. And I was compelled to keep turning pages to find out how it would all turn out.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The Town with No Roads is a powerful story of forgiveness on many different levels. I felt very emotionally connected with all the characters. And I was compelled to keep turning pages to find out how it would all turn out. I loved it. I highly recommend it.
