“The Bend in Redwood Road is a compelling exploration of maternal longing, the weight of choices, and the enduring impact of truth. Immerse yourself in this captivating narrative. As you turn the pages, you’ll be reminded that even amidst life’s twists and turns, some roads lead to revelations that resonate long after the final chapter.”
Within the seemingly manageable life of Leslie Laudon lies an underlying ache—a quiet yearning for the baby she once left behind. Her smiles conceal pain, and her silence speaks volumes. Alongside her husband, Paul, Leslie has woven a life that may seem right, but is merely an attempt at penance for a heart-wrenching choice. Her devotion to her other children is unwavering, nurturing them through the years. But as her youngest embarks on her college journey, Leslie’s identity begins to unravel.
Gwen Fox is raised by her loving adopted parents, Noel and Millie. Their care is undeniable, yet Gwen harbors a persistent ache that defies explanation. The weight of unanswered questions propels both Gwen and Leslie into unanticipated upheavals. One seeks the truth about her origin, while the other embarks on a quest for self-discovery—a journey back to the woman she was before motherhood, before leaving a piece of her heart behind.
“Stewart has a knack for creating rich, complicated characters. One standout is Leslie’s daughter, Kerry, who is defiantly vocal about the issues within her family and laudably supportive of her mother. The author treads carefully around the subject of adoption, respectfully noting systematic issues while preserving the emotional complexities of Gwen’s experience. Another intriguing feature is the romantic subplot” – Kirkus Reviews
