Running Backward

De: Jacqueline Simon Gunn

Narrado por: Amanda Friday

From award-winning author Jacqueline Simon Gunn comes an insightful novel based on true events about trauma, loss, resilience, and ultimately re-building your life after the life you’ve settled into is blown apart.

When Lisa’s husband, Ben, leaves her out-of-the-blue, nothing makes sense: not his reasons, not his actions, not the abrupt change in his demeanor, or his uncharacteristically cruel treatment toward her. Lisa is left with only questions and the excuse he told her—it’s all her fault. In shock for months to follow, Lisa searches for answers and closure from Ben while scrambling to pull herself together and figure out a life she’d never imagined: one without her partner of fifteen years. With Ben pushing for a fast divorce, Lisa has to make choices about where and how she wants to live. Just as she’s beginning to rebuild herself and sees a glimmer of hope, more tragedy and heartbreak strike, turning her life upside down again and leaving her even more devastated and lost.

Lisa must figure out how to let go of her past and quickly adjust to her new circumstances as she navigates her way through the complex and messy labyrinth of rediscovery and healing.
