No River Too Wide

Richards's latest "Goddesses Anonymous" novel (after Somewhere Between Luck and Trust) introduces three women trying to move beyond the restraints and bad memories of their pasts. After years of abuse from her husband, Janine resolves to run away and create a new life. She risks everything to see her estranged daughter, Harmony, before she leaves, hoping that she is not being tracked. Harmony, with a new baby, is trying to create a "perfect" life. Once she knows her mother is alive and well, she wants her to stay and be a part of her new family. Harmony's friend Taylor sees the importance of trying to help, as her own mother would, and offers shelter to Janine. Taylor struggles with how to keep opening her heart to trust and to have faith, especially for Adam Pryor, as he arrives in all of their lives. Can these women learn to ever trust again, especially if they don't know what's become of Janine's husband?
