Harmony Stoddard is a young woman starting her life over in
Ashville, North
Carolina with her 9-month-old daughter, Lottie, as a single
mom. Harmony is
the product of an abusive father who finally escaped with
the aid of her
very abused mother. Jan Stoddard has been living with
terror and fear in
Topeka, Kansas after being threatened by her husband Rex of
hunting down
and physically harming their daughter if Jan leaves him.
Moving On, a group of women helping other women to
escape from abuse,
is helping Jan and have been secretly setting up her escape
from Rex. News
has reached her daughter of the fire that consumed her
parents' home the
very night Jan stole away, leaving everyone to believe she
perished in the fire
and Rex is missing as well. In order to protect Harmony and
her
granddaughter, it is not feasible to live with them but to
only let her know she
is alive. Jan is eventually convinced to hide with a friend
of Harmony's to be
protected by the group of women called the Goddesses
Anonymous who work
to help women like her. Learning to restore confidence and
faith in others,
her fear is not over when her husband is found murdered and
she is being
accused. Help comes from those where it's least expected
and restores her
faith in the human kindness of others to gain a productive
life.
NO RIVER TOO WIDE is a story in the Goddess Anonymous
novels. This subject, even though
extremely sensitive and horrendous, delves into the souls of
those trapped in
this type of prison. Emilie Richards has an acute knowledge
of abusiveness in the
home and cleverly portrays this to the reader. Even though
this is a subject
we all tend to shy from, NO RIVER TOO WIDE is a book I could
not put down nor will I ever
forget it. An extremely heart-wrenching and emotional read
while showing
the strength and healing power of women helping women. I
can always
expect a fantastic read from Emilie Richards.
Some betrayals are like rivers, so deep, so wide, they can't
be crossed. But-for those with enough courage-forgiveness,
redemption and love may be found on the other side. On the
night her home is consumed by fire, Janine Stoddard finally
resolves to leave her abusive husband. While she is
reluctant to involve her estranged daughter, she can't
resist a chance to see Harmony and baby Lottie in Asheville,
North Carolina, before she disappears forever.
Harmony's friend Taylor Martin realizes how much the
reunited mother and daughter yearn to stay together, and she
sees in Jan a chance to continue her own mother's legacy of
helping women in need of a fresh start. She opens her home,
even as she's opening her heart to another newcomer, Adam
Pryor. But enigmatic Adam has a secret that could destroy
Taylor's trust-and cost Jan her hard-won freedom.
