Noémie’s Journey AUDIO BOOK by Victoria Saccenti

4 out of 5 Stars

In 1968, Noemie BellaRose lives in a small South Carolina town.  Her family moved there from New Orleans.  Noemie fights the realities of living in this small town as a Creole woman but has made a home for herself and her brother.  Noemie is attending night school to finish her college degree in accounting.  A degree is part of Noemie’s plan to secure the future for her and her brother.  

Richard Winters left a broken dream in New York.  He got on his motorcycle and rode away from the pain and the past.  He stopped in Noemie’s small town.  Richard didn’t plan on staying but he did.  He didn’t want any trouble but he found it when the town’s Queen B took a shine to him.  Richard didn’t want love but fate had other plans when he crossed paths with Noemie.  

Noemie and Richard were battling the long-held beliefs in the South, Richard’s past, and Noemie’s family situation.  When things start coming to a head in the small town, will Richard and Noemie face the future together?  

The support that Noemie discovers from friends is endearing.  I love that Richard is not afraid to stand up for Noemie or their love no matter the cost to him.  This is a sweet love story with a HEA.  

Warning:  The book contains scenes depicting domestic violence and attempted sexual assault.  This may trigger some listeners
