The Road to Escape
July 16, 2017
The Plot:
Tom Cooper left his high-pressure law practice in Indianapolis for life on an alpaca
farm in the tiny northwest Indiana town of Escape. Though he continued to practice law,
the farm provided a good life for him, his wife, and their children. When his wife died, grief
consumed him and the children all left.
Laurie Matthews left her nursing job in shame. The town of Escape has welcomed her,
and she now owns the local diner. She’s attracted to the handsome widower, but keeps her
distance, because everyone she’s ever loved has died.
A romantic relationship isn’t on the agenda for either of them, but when the diner falls
on hard times, Tom steps in to help, paving the way for them both to escape the loneliness
in their lives.
**** Amazon Review by Jackie: The Road to Escape: (Escape Reunion Series Book 1)
is the first in a series involving the Cooper Family. And Ms Kiyono provides a good solid
opening in The Road to Escape. This author’s fluent writing style brings her characters to
life and has this reader invested in their problems.
