12.13.2018 - The Testament of Harold's Wife

The Testament of Harold's Wife by Lynne Hugo

Thanks to NetGalley, Kensington Publishing, and Lynne Hugo for the opportunity to read this book - really enjoyed it and love that cover!

Louisa lives on a farm in Indiana with her chickens and cat to keep her company.  She's trying to figure out how to exist after the death of her beloved grandson, Cody, who was hit by a drunk driver, and her husband, Harold, after that.  Her son, Gary, has turned to Jesus as a way of trying to cope and his relationship with his mom is fragile.  Louisa resents having his cult religion pressed upon her; Gary is worried for her safety and afraid of losing her too.

Louisa finally decides to pick up Harold's cause - to get revenge on the man who killed Cody and basically got away with it, as well as the sheriff who didn't help.  So she hatches The Plan.  Of course, no plan goes off perfectly and this one is no different.

I loved listening to Louisa's story - it's written as though she is talking to you.  She's feisty, opinionated and loves her animals.
