Publisher's summary

In the middle of the year, in the middle of her life, Bethanne Hamlin takes a road trip with her daughter Annie, and her former mother-in-law, Ruth. They’re driving to Florida for Ruth’s 50th high school reunion. A long-time widow, Ruth would like to reconnect with Royce, the love of her teenage life. She’s heard he’s alone, too…and, well, she’s curious. Maybe even hopeful. Bethanne herself needs time to reflect, to ponder a decision she has to make. Her ex-husband, Grant – her children’s father – wants to reconcile now that his second marriage has failed. Bethanne’s considering it….

Meanwhile, Annie’s out to prove to her one-time boyfriend that she can live a brilliant life without him! So there they are, three women driving across America. They have their maps and their directions – but even the best-planned journey can take you to a turn in the road.

A Turn In The Road

I truly enjoyed the travel with Ruth, Bethann and Anne cross country! Each stop along the way brought me a longing for a return to places long ago visited. The new people that they met were interesting individuals with their own storylines and histories. With each chapter of the book I was cheering for Max and Royce and a subdued hope that Maybe Bethann would return to her husband. I couldn't stop listening, I enjoy books that keep my intrest piqued!

Turn in the Road

Where does A Turn in the Road rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It ranks pretty high.It is what I would call easy listening the story was one I could relate to because I went through a similar thing.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Turn in the Road?

When she made her decision. I was sort of on pins and needles waiting for her to realize that sometimes you do need to move forward.

What does Joyce Bean bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I wouldn't got to feel the emotions in the story line. I was relaxed and able to put myself in the character place.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it is . i must say it did start out a little slow. I however really got into toward the middle and the end.

Another great book!

I had red this book years ago, I enjoyed it then and now I loved the audio version. Like most of Debbie Macomber’s romantic stories, they have a great amount of twists and turns and drama, it’s like being pulled into a soap opera. The one thing I really liked, is Ms Macomber doesn’t give the cheating spouse any leeway. I do recommend this book!

I nearly sent it back but it grew on me and I ended up liking it.

It took me about two hours to get into it and I am not sure if the narrator took the same amount of time. I did then get in to it and enjoyed it. As always, Debbie Macomber are uplifting and easy to listen to books. I like her observations of human nature and that you get to know the characters.

Light

It was enjoyable. I was unsure if I would like it when it started. It was a light read and never really got too deep. I was pleased that she chose the man I was rooting for.
