The Reset: Astrid Goldstone

De: Melody Friend

Narrado por: Carrie Gibson

The story of the intellectual and spiritual Astrid Goldstone’s lifetime of loving, devastating loss, and abuse who, in her refuge, is offered an unsurvivable covenant for a noble cause and boldly bargains for an impossible personal demand should she survive.

The cat who has become her companion is her only tenuous tether to reality. It’s only through her concern for his well-being that she finds unorthodox help for him and inadvertently for herself so that she can re-live her own harrowing life, fulfill promises and realize all who she is and her very important role in womankind. Woven from a complex series of clues and tie-in events starting from the front cover design to the text on the back cover, the story unfurls outside the constant constraints of linear time to delight everyone from the seasoned mystery solver to the romance fanatic. The Reset Astrid Goldstone is a great read for anyone who likes to take a deep dive into vivid descriptions and many layers of context.

There are subtexts of universal truths, advocacy, and legendary women (and a cat). It is a slipstream mystery mixed with reality and generously sprinkled with humor throughout.
