Description
Riley Pritchard's life is forever changed when tragedy strikes her family in west Texas. In an attempt to escape the suffering that has enveloped her home, she volunteers at the local VA hospital. There, she meets Johnny, a young soldier who has returned from Vietnam with severe burns covering his lower half of his body. As they begin to form a connection, Riley and Johnny discover the healing power of love in each other's company. This poignant coming-of-age story explores themes of self-reliance, self-preservation, and strength amidst adversity, set against the backdrop of small-town Texas life. Janet Rebhan's debut novel is a nuanced portrayal of blossoming adulthood, imbued with a remarkable felicity for time and place. With its vivid exploration of human emotion and resilience, Finding Tranquility will resonate with readers seeking a moving and thought-provoking read.
