Transcendent Kingdom: A Read with Jenna Pick: A novel

Such a relatable and melancholic but gentle story. So good I listened and then had to purchase!

Came in better condition than described

I couldn’t put the book down and rushed to order other books by the same author before I was even done;

The author carefully leads the reader into the minds and lives of the characters. This one shares the bittersweet relationships between a broken family, mother and daughter, addiction, and mental health. There were times I felt the story was moving a bit slow, but overall, worth the read. I recommend.

This novel was a fantastic read. It uses a piecemeal timeline to explore so many facets of the main character’s worldview and events in her life that shaped it. Religion, addiction, race, family dynamics, science, and so much more are discussed and not discussed in a beautiful, gripping way.
