The Passing Storm: A Novel | Christine Nolfi
6 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
A gripping, openhearted novel about family, reconciliation, and bringing closure to the secrets of the past. Early into the tempestuous decade of her thirties, Rae Langdon struggles to work through a grief she never anticipated. With her father, Connor, she tends to their Ohio farm, a forty-acre spread that itself has enjoyed better days. As memories sweep through her, some too precious to bear, Rae gives shelter from a brutal winter to a teenager named Quinn Galecki. Quinn has been thrown out by his parents, a couple too troubled to help steer the misunderstood boy through his own losses. Now Quinn has found a temporary home with the Langdons--and an unexpected kinship, because Rae, Quinn, and Connor share a past and understand one another's pain. But its depths--and all its revelations and secrets--have yet to come to light. To finally move forward, Rae must confront them and also fight for Quinn, whose parents have other plans in mind for their son. With forgiveness, love, and the spring thaw, there might be hope for a new season--a second chance Rae believed in her heart was gone forever.

I couldn‘t put this down and that surprised me from the book‘s description. Rae takes in an 18 year old abused young man whose parents kicked him out. He was a close friend of her daughter. Lots of secrets are revealed much like a book of suspense as we get to know the characters and learn the details of the accident.

Grief can wreak havoc on a person and so can trauma, especially if it‘s buried way down deep and left untreated. That is the crux of this family‘s story. Not much of a mystery like I was expecting but still a good story. Book #58 in 2022

This is a great book. I loved it from start to finish. It was sad in so many places and will make you mad in others. Likable characters. Great scenes. It was just an all around good book. Even though it is sad. A mother's loss is so deep.
I gave it 5/5 stars.
