11.29.2022 - A Quiet Life

A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella

Many thanks to NetGalley and Scribner for gifting me a digital ARC of the sophomore book by Ethan Joella - 5 sparkling stars!

Three people struggling with loss in a small Pennsylvanian town in winter.  Chuck's wife, Cat, died and he's filled with regret and sadness.  Ella struggles to exist while awaiting news about her missing daughter.  Kirsten's beloved dad was murdered and she can't move forward.  These three lives intersect as each try to navigate their new lives.

I absolutely adored Joella's debut novel, A Little Hope, and this one is equally as wonderful.  While each of these stories are sad, just like real life can be, you will be filled with hope and love as people come together to help each other.   It's about navigating grief and making a new normal.  It's also a reminder to live life as best we can so that we have as few regrets as possible and that we can, as Cat said, "Be someone's cardinal."  Highly recommended!
