Jackie’s marriage is falling apart. So she decides to ditch it all and move to Sedona to start over. She went on vacation there once where she had a fling with the jeep tour guide. But when she gets there, things aren’t what she expects. Was that vacation fling just a fling, or was it a romance? She’s gotta figure that all out and start over in a new town. Olmsted did a great job with transplanting her character into a new environment and having her fumble through building a new life.
The Review
I absolutely loved the sense of realism that the author brought to this contemporary women’s fiction read. The author perfectly portrayed the relationships and struggles of the characters in a very real sense. Allowing the reader to focus on the character development rather than some overtly whirlwind romance with a steamy new man was a great direction to take the narrative, focusing instead on the protagonist’s push to grow and change herself through a new adventure and new life.
The balance of emotional storytelling and character development was perfect in this narrative. The author also managed to craft a great sense of setting in this story, allowing the Arizona desert and sense of wilderness to become a character all on its own. The theme of growth and change in the face of adversity was perfectly layered within this narrative, allowing the novel’s story to shine brightly without hitting readers over the head with the theme.
