FICTION: The Road to Tender Hearts, by Annie Hartnett

For our May pick, I've chosen The Road to Tender Hearts, by Annie Hartnett. I'm a sucker for a good cross-country road trip story. This one is described as "A darkly comic and warm-hearted novel about an old man on a cross-country mission to reunite with his high school crush—bringing together his adult daughter, two orphaned kids, and a cat who can predict death". https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/218460347-the-road-to-tender-hearts

"In an author's note at the end of the book, Hartnett explains that THE ROAD TO TENDER HEARTS was born out of a challenge she set herself --- to write a funny novel about some of the worst tragedies that can befall people. It’s safe to say that she succeeds. The book is wise, witty and emotional without ever veering into sappiness. PJ's journey is a literal one, but it's also metaphorical." - Norah Piehl, bookreporter
