Welcome to Litsy!

4 Stars • "The Passing Storm" by Christine Nolfi is a heartwarming novel that explores the complex relationships within a family during a time of crisis. The story is set on an Ohio farm where Rae Langdon and her father, Connor, are dealing with the aftermath of tragic losses. They take in Quinn Galecki, a teenager who has been thrown out by his alcoholic parents, and find an unexpected kinship with him. ⬇️

I couldn‘t put this down and that surprised me from the book‘s description. Rae takes in an 18 year old abused young man whose parents kicked him out. He was a close friend of her daughter. Lots of secrets are revealed much like a book of suspense as we get to know the characters and learn the details of the accident.

Grief can wreak havoc on a person and so can trauma, especially if it‘s buried way down deep and left untreated. That is the crux of this family‘s story. Not much of a mystery like I was expecting but still a good story. Book #58 in 2022

Rae is a woman in her thirties living with her father, Connor, on the family's farm. The loss of her mother during a devastating winter storm altered the course of Rae's life.
Sixteen years later, another tragedy rocks Rae & Connor's world. The loss leaves the family broken & rudderless. The heaviness of their loss is only intensified by the weight of the secrets each member keeps. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a great book. I loved it from start to finish. It was sad in so many places and will make you mad in others. Likable characters. Great scenes. It was just an all around good book. Even though it is sad. A mother's loss is so deep.
I gave it 5/5 stars.
