From the bestselling author of The Kindness of Strangers comes a poignant and life-affirming novel about our connections to the past, and the promise for the future during the least promising of times.
Grieving but feisty widow Vivian Laurent is at a late-in-life crossroads. The man she loved is gone. Their only daughter is estranged and missing. And the assisted-living facility where her husband died is going into quarantine. Living in lockdown with only heartache and memories is something Vivian can’t bear. Then comes a saving grace.
Luna, a compassionate nursing assistant and newly separated mother, is facing eviction. Vivian has a plan that could turn their lives around: return to her old home and invite Luna and her two children to move in with her. With the exuberant eleven-year-old Wren in her hot-pink motorized wheelchair and Wren’s troubled older brother, Cooper, the new housemates make for an unlikely pandemic pack, weathering the coming storm together.
Now it’s time to heal old wounds, make peace with the past, find hope and joy, and discover that the strongest bonds can get anyone through the worst of times.

Critic reviews
“Krystal Hammond's warm voice creates a familiar atmosphere and relatable characters for a story that takes place during the pandemic.… The story is an inspiring example of how letting go of the past and healing old wounds through friendship can help anyone get through the worst of times. Hammond's thoughtful narration, full of emotion, reminds listeners of the importance of human connection.”—AudioFile Magazine
“With compassion, candor, and humor, Katrina Kittle explores how a ragtag group of people on the verge can redefine what it means to be a family, in all its messy unpredictability. Told through multiple perspectives, this life-affirming, heartwarming novel captures the unlikely friendships and connections that can emerge out of perilous circumstances—and ultimately make life worth living.”—Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train and The Exiles
“Morning in This Broken World is a heartfelt take on the family we’re born with, the family we choose, and the messy, beautiful intersections between the two. Katrina Kittle gifts us with an unforgettable protagonist, an endearing supporting cast, and a moving story about what it really means to call a place ‘home.’ The world would be a better (and dare I say less broken) place if it were filled with more novels like this one.”—Jessica Strawser, author of A Million Reasons Why

If you’re against sensible logical humans then you may agree with another review calling out unnecessary “political stereotypes,” but there’s nothing political or stereotypical about taking necessary steps to protect your loved ones and others during a pandemic.
I enjoyed this first novel/audiobook by Katrina Kittle and look forward to more from this author.
