Never That Far Tells a Poignant, Powerful Story of Loss and Love
8:20 PM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
I usually craft my own plot summaries, but Never That Far, Carol Lynch Williams' newest, isn't the easiest novel to describe. The publisher's version says everything that needs to be said in one succinct paragraph, so I'm going to go with it:

Set against a lush central Florida backdrop, Never That Far tells a poignant, powerful story about loss and love. Libby's heartbreak and yearning are so palpable that it's impossible not to root for her happiness. Her actions and reactions feel authentic, making her a very real character. This, plus an atmospheric setting; a rich, mystical vibe; and some important messages about faith, family, and friendship, make Never That Far a compelling read. I enjoyed it.
(Readalikes: Um, I can't really think of anything. Can you?)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for difficult subject matter and scenes of peril
To the FTC, with love: I received an ARC of Never That Far from the generous folks at Shadow Mountain. Thank you!
