Chasing the Traveller by Alex Kane
4.0
Kat is a traveller, working around the country at fairs and carnivals. She is married to Jimmy who has turned into a controlling and abusive man. Her parents were killed in a fire and Jimmy is all she has.
After 16 years she finally escapes with her sister in law Ellie. All she has with her is a photo of her family with a strange note on the back. She has also recently discovered that she is pregnant.
Getting away from the life that they knew isn't easy for either of the women. They are always looking behind them and scared that the travellers will catch up with them.
Kat decides to look into the note on the back of the photo and begins to learn things about her past that she never knew.... and maybe she didn't want to know.
This is a dark story of physical and mental abuse and how it changes a person. It is a story of family and love. Kat was a wonderful, strong character that really tugged at the heart strings. A great book that I highly recommend.
