The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . WILL RISE FROM ASHES . . . The narrators did a fabulous job. I commend them both. I loved the cadance, pitch and tone. Cues were taken and carried out from the words written on the pages.

There was something very realistic about this story. From the mouth that AJ had on her. To the connection she had with her son. All the way to the chance encounter with Reid and all the barriers encountered. There were highs and lows all felt with each of the scenes. The was a connecting thread that allowed for it all to flow together.

I believe if given a chance a connection can be made with this story and the various disasters happening in today's world. There are the moments when you can compare to the tornado that devastated a community and a mother trying to make it to the school her children are at while no car or any type of transportation aside her two legs. The lengths should would go through to make it to her children.

Reid and AJ find so much more than just the trust of a strange or protective nature. They find a meaning in the endless devastation taking place in their world. I can see myself revisiting AJ and Reid in the future.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Jean M. Grant. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Living is more than mere survival...

Young widow AJ Sinclair has persevered through much heartache. Has she met her match when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, leaving her separated from her youngest son and her brother?

Tens of thousands are dead or missing in a swath of massive destruction. She and her nine-year-old autistic son Will embark on a risky road trip from Maine to the epicenter to find her family. She can't lose another loved one.

Along the way, they meet Reid Gregory, who travels his own road to perdition looking for his sister. Drawn together by AJ's fear of driving and Reid's military and local expertise, their journey to Colorado is fraught with the chaotic aftermath of the eruption.

AJ's anxiety and faith in humanity are put to the test as she heals her past, accepts her family's present, and embraces uncertainty as Will and Reid show her a world she had almost forgotten.

Jean has a penchant for the misunderstood be it sharks, microbes, or people (fictional and real). A scientist by training, she now spends her days as an author and champion for her children. She has five published novels in the genres of historical and contemporary romance, and women’s fiction. She also writes for family and travel magazines and websites. When not writing, she enjoys tending to her flower and vegetable gardens, tackling the biggest mountains in New England with her husband, and chilling with her children, while taking snapshots of the world around her and daydreaming about the next story.
