Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
The Road at My Door follows protagonist Reese Cavanaugh on a dark journey to save her family without destroying herself. Set against the backdrop of the Cold War and the sexual revolution, Mohr examines cultural forces shaping family life in a decade of upheaval. Road is a perfect storm of conflicting needs and beliefs about love of self, love of another, fast-changing attitudes about sex, and the toxicity of family secrets.

Too depressing to finish this book

What disappointed you about The Road at My Door?
For me, it was hard to take the incredibly horrible situation this young woman winds up in and cannot seem to escape. If there is a happy ending, ? Not sure, as I gave up before getting that far.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
sadness and bad nightmares
Any additional comments?
Be grateful if you were raised by semi-decent parents

Hildy Good is a townie. A lifelong resident of a small community on the rocky coast of Boston's North Shore, she knows pretty much everything about everyone. And she's good at lots of things, too. A successful real-estate broker, mother, and grandmother, her days are full. But her nights have become lonely ever since her daughters, convinced their mother was drinking too much, sent her off to rehab. Now she's in recovery—more or less.

New England towns people, a bit of adultery, real estate, psychology and class, and just a little glass of wine

The character development was superb, narration outstanding and I must say I learned a lot about myself listening to this book.
