South of Somewhere by T.I. Lowe

 

When Juniper Wilder's grief spiraled into addiction, leading first to an arrest for drunk driving, then jail and court-ordered rehab, she lost the most important thing in her life: her baby girl. Now, sober and on probation, Junie is determined to prove she can be the mother Fern deserves. But she's burned a lot of bridges, ones that can't be easily rebuilt.
Not every road is closed to her, however. Exiled to her late grandmother's South Carolina beach house, Junie starts over, ready to pay off her debts and prove to her brother that he can safely return custody of Fern. She works hard and finds surprising grace in an eclectic recovery community. There's an unexpected friendship, too—and maybe more—with her neighbor, Henry, a quirky college professor who helps her believe in second chances.
Still, it's hard for Junie to imagine ever forgiving herself, let alone receiving forgiveness from those she's hurt . . . particularly when her past rears its ugly head and threatens to undo every bit of progress she's made.

My Review

 

A story that will grab you, we become Junie, and when life's hardship hit her we walk with her, and the consequences of her actions are revealed, and the heartbreak she is having.
I love the people the author places in her path, and how she can accept of refuse, and sometimes does make the wrong choice.
This is such a great faith based read, you will have tears in your eyes at times, but this is also life.
She is trying so hard to turn around, and the stumbles that are placed to make her fall.
This is my first book by T.I. Lowe and I'll be looking for future reads.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Tyndale House, and was not required to give a positive review.
