I really enjoyed Katharine’s Remarkable Road trip and often felt I was riding passenger with her on her journey both to her new home and down memory lane. Katharine is getting up there is age, and as she starts to put things in order, she decides where she wants to live out her days, so against her sisters liking, she hits the road on her own to New Hampshire. To break up the 300 mile journey, she plans visits to friends along the way and with each mile and visit we find out more of Katharine’s past as well as how she got to be where she is. Katharine led an interesting life as a nurse, and met a lot of historical people. It is fascinating how she used her nursing skills through out her entire life and often helped others get through things with her own stories from her younger years. I thought Katharine was quite the fascinating woman, especially during the time of the Civil War. Having always been an independent woman, Katharine proved to her friends and family that she still is that woman, no matter her age and that some things in us never change. I would love to read more about Katharine’s life as a nurse and her younger years, I feel she had a lot of stories to tell!
Thank you to the author for the complementary novel. This review is of my own opinion and accord.
