Angela Blount has created an inspiring and enlightening coming-of-age
book through the memoirs of her eighteen year old self. Angeli is a bright girl, but she doesn't know
where her life is heading. Feeling
overwhelmed by the sense that she should have a plan for her future, she
decides to take a two month long solo road trip in a quest for self-discovery. Somehow she hopes that along the way she will
come to some sort of realization as to the direction she should take in
life. Her plan is to drive to various
places throughout the U.S.
and Canada
where she will stay with a number of the people whom she has befriended through
an internet chat-room. Along the way she
encounters obstacles, heartache and betrayal.
Once Upon A Road Trip
is an engaging read with lots of interesting developments that keep the reader
hinged to see what will happen next.
Blount tactfully addresses a multitude of subjects that young people
often tend to encounter. Young Angie has
a beautiful soul and a strong faith which helps guide her through some
challenging situations. The undercurrent
of her faith is a big part of what makes this book unique. Angie's weaknesses and insecurities are no
match for her faith which seems to keep her grounded. Blount has done a terrific job of exposing
Angie's vulnerabilities all the while highlighting her journey towards a deeper
understanding of herself and the people in her life. As the story progresses she slowly sheds some
of her youthful naiveté and learns who she can and cannot trust --and
ultimately lets go of her insecurities and allows herself to love and to be
loved.
