The Road to Nowhere

Isa's Journey, Book 2

By: Catherine M Byrne

Narrated by: Jenny Myers

From the author of Follow the Dove and The Broken Horizon

For Isa and Davie Reid, life has led them and their children away from their beloved Scotland to an equally difficult life in the weather-scarred, dusty, Canadian prairies of the early 1900s. Eking out an existence where the land will not produce, surviving when all else seems to challenge mere survival, Isa weathers the elements and shoulders the responsibilities, managing to maintain a homestead that her parents had started, but that left them almost destitute and destroyed their health, with very little help from the homesick Davie.

With the onset of WW1, Davie volunteers to fight.

Isa soldiers on until there is nothing left on the homestead to sustain her. Where will her path lead her next?

Her friend and neighbour, Sarah, escaped an unwanted pregnancy to marry a man twice her age, only to discover another relationship she did not expect. She runs away from the arranged marriage to nurse the wounded during World War I, only to return to the man she was forced to marry years earlier to forge a different relationship. Where will Sarah's path lead her next?

Historical romance

The Road to Nowhere by Catherine M. Byrne is an amazing historical romance. Jenny Myers did an excellent job with the narration. The Road to Nowhere is the third book in Raumsey and the second book in Isa’s Journey series. The story is entertaining, interesting, heartwarming, heartfelt, heartbreaking and more. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend.

Very entertaining

Such an entertaining story. I was really captivated by the struggles of the characters on the home front while war raged on.

This was an interesting listen.

I have always been in awe of those who Pioneered the Plains of the US and Canada. The Land is beautiful but can be quite forbidding. It really takes Strength and Fortitude to tackle the land. I liked the way the Author put the story together. Thanks!

Truly enjoyed this book. Sad but intriguing

Would definitely recommend. Very sad all that Iva’s and Davie go through, but a true love story unravels. Story and narration were really good. I would recommend

Great book!

I absolutely loved that Isa & her husband let each other follow their passions and supported each other. It was well written & narrated (loved the Scottish accent). Certain parts of the book made me cry, which shows how well executed the book is. I hope there’s a part 2 to this book, so I can find out what happened to Isa & Donald and the life path Isa’s kids chose.
