Running Against Traffic
Paige Scott is done in. Done for. Done with it. Having spent her childhood shuffled between relatives who ignored her, and her adult life hiding within the walls of her relationships with men, she is prepared to live out her empty days in her crumbling marriage to David Davenport. David has other plans, however, and flings her into a remote, impoverished world, in stark contrast to the wealthy cosmopolitan one that was all she knew. Here she is forced to face the betrayals of her past and learn, for the first time, how to care for herself, and for others.
Hilarity and tragedy, addictions, unexpected friendships, and Paige’s discovery of running and the relief it brings propel her on her journey toward the mending of a broken spirit, and learning how to truly live. Step by step, mile by mile.
My Review:
This was a good book about how strong a woman can be. Especially when she thinks that she has nothing left. Her husband dumped her, both in a dilapidated house and out of his life, and did not care how she was or how much money she has. What David does not realize is that he did not deserve Paige and he gives her the last push she needs to be the woman she wants to be. I love using my hands to build things, including puzzles, and model airplanes. I thought about how I feel when I have a finished project, and that is how I think Paige felt as she finished projects around her house. As she repaired herself she also repaired her new home. I also liked the ending. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review from Orangeberry Book Tours, however all opinions are my own.
