Heading Out to Wonderful
Heading Out to Wonderful | Robert Goolrick
8 posts | 16 read | 12 to read
It is the summer of 1948 when a handsome, charismatic stranger, Charlie Beale, recently back from the war in Europe, shows up in the town of Brownsburg, a sleepy village nestled in the Valley of Virginia. All he has with him are two suitcases: one contains his few possessions, including a fine set of butcher knives; the other is full of money. A lot of money. Heading Out to Wonderful is a haunting, heart-stopping novel of love gone terribly wrong in a place where once upon a time such things could happen.

I‘m only 50 pages in but I like the tone of the story telling. Something tells me there is a lot more depth to this story than the opening pages reveal. It‘s like a sense of dread. I‘m here for it😄

Part two of #BookMail is my "H" for #LitsyAtoZchallenge and it is a hardback that was literally $0.01 and only has slight damage to the dust jacket! Almost all of my letters are in and I have completed 3 of the 26 as of January. ?

LitHousewife I really enjoyed this book. I hope you do, too. 8y

Such a great read...romance, religion, broken trust. It's a dark and violent story that takes place in the 40's. I enjoyed Goolrick's book The Reliable Wife and this one did not disappoint.

BarbaraTheBibliophage The Reliable Wife (and now also this) are on my TBR list. Thanks! 8y
