Braking Points
Braking Points | N. Carolyn Kisler
1 post | 1 read
Octogenarian Max Carnes has been married to Lily for more than sixty years, caring for her as dementia claims bits and pieces of her daily. He has some family nearby, but the bulk of the load has been Max's. Their day to day routine revolves around the home, an unchanging repetition of the familiar, until Lily finds an old family snapshot and Max decides to take her on one last car trip to the ocean. Getting out of town does not go unnoticed by his children, but after promising to abide by their directives, Max and Lily set off. From their first stop of many 'braking points', the trip does not go as planned. Adding a 14 year old runaway and then later a volunteer hospital chaplain to the entourage, Max and Lily's journey goes every which way from the plan.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ When I first read about Braking Points online I immediately knew that I had to read it. The story sounded wholesome & sweet- like something you'd see in a Hallmark movie. Now I would like to point out that I'm not typically a fan of Hallmark movies or overly romantic, sappy books. I like a good story though, and this one's synopsis grabbed my attention & wouldn't let go. And wow. Just wow, wow, wow. This book was really freaking good.

monkeygirlsmama Side note: Readers who have read Daisy Townsend's Sarah's Legacy series will find this book to have a very similar feel. Completely different storylines, but the writing style and story vibe is incredibly similar. Likewise, if you should happen to find yourself wondering what to read next after finishing Braking Points look no further than Townsend's books. You won't be disappointed. 3mo
