Come Down Somewhere

De: Jennifer L. Wright

Narrado por: Sarah Zimmerman

For fans of WWII fiction comes a powerful novel by Jennifer L. Wright about two young women coming of age during the Trinity nuclear bomb test in 1945.

Sixteen-year-old Olive Alexander has lived on a ranch in the Jornada del Muerto region of southern New Mexico her entire life. But when World War II begins, the government seizes her family’s land for the construction of a new, top secret Army post.

While her mother remains behind, Olive is forced to live in nearby Alamogordo with her grandmother and find a place in a new school. When Jo Hawthorne crosses her path, Olive sees a chance for friendship—until she learns that Jo’s father is the Army sergeant who now occupies her beloved ranch. Already angry about her new reality, Olive pushes Jo away. But as she struggles to make sense of her grandmother’s lapses into the past and increasingly unsettling hints about what’s happening at the ranch, she slowly warms to Jo’s winsome faith and steady attempts at friendship . . . until one devastating day when the sky explodes around them and their lives are torn apart.

Seven years later, Jo returns to Alamogordo, still angry and wounded by the betrayals of that fateful day. Determined to put the past behind her once and for all, Jo hunts for answers and begins to realize the truth may be far more complicated than she believed, leading her on a desperate search to find her friend before it’s too late.

Absolutely loved it!

I enjoyed If It Rains by Jennifer Wright, but this book was even better. I hope she writes another soon! Sarah Zimmerman is always a great narrator and didn’t disappoint. Five stars!

Breath taking

I absolutely loved this book! I teared up on multiple occasions feeling the characters heartache. The twists toward the end were just perfect.

Being that I have lived in Alamogordo it gave a sense of nostalgia hearing time before me play out in a place I know today.

The beauty of God with His almighty hand in place felt so raw to me with His plans playing out in my life. Praise God for always prevailing in His time with His plan!
