100 Pages A Day...Stephanie's Book Reviews

I absolutely love historical fiction and read a lot of it; I love to learn history this way.  I also enjoy reading science fiction, fantasy, horror, thriller and non-fiction science.

Outrunning Josephine Finch

Outrunning Josephine Finch - Kristine McCord

Good will grow even in the foulest of things, and I have a lot of good

 

A sweeping, multi-generational saga that leads four generations of women on a journey to find peace within their relationships.  For four generations of women, their relationships with men, fathers, boyfriends, husbands, have been cursed; all due to one decision made long ago.  The story is told through each of the women's viewpoints, and each has a distinct character.

 

I really enjoyed this book, even though it isn't really a genre that I would usually read.  The facets of the multiple-generations of women and the mystery wrapped into the story made this really interesting to me.  The characters are all well-developed and any could be a woman you know; Emmy (the great-grandmother), Jenny (the grandmother), Miranda (the mother) and Anlee (the daughter) have all had a rough time with men in their lives.  The women in the family have often been a crutch for one another, but this relationship disintegrated when Emmy disappeared from their lives.  Brought together again by a letter from Emmy asking them to join her in a mysterious place called Angel Cove, the women can begin building their relationships again and finally outrun Josephine Finch.
