The Scenic Route by Christina Baker Kline

5.0

This was an excellent short story! The story centers around Jess – a woman who has been hurt and betrayed. As her life starts falling apart, she seeks a new start by taking to the road. In taking to the road, she slowly begins to breathe again. This is a story of healing, redemption, and second chances. It also explores themes of community and new found family. It is such a powerful and emotional read and the author manages to pack a lot of depth into a very short amount of pages. The writing is seamless and magnificent!
