Rush Home Road by Lori Lansens

5.0

Very moving novel. It does depict an ample amount of sensitive topics right from the beginning, including poverty, rape, racism, and adultery. This took a minute to adjust to as a reader; however, it makes the main characters' overall story all the more powerful. I'll admit, the theme of forgiveness alluded to in the description felt weak to me; however, the story of resilience and integrity in the main character stood out to me as a strongly woven element throughout the novel.
