The Goodbye Storm

Written by Danielle Stewart

Narrated by Hayden Bishop

Autumn Chase is painfully aware grief is a beast that won’t be chased off before it’s ready to leave. When an icy road and a dark night leave her a young widow, she’s forced to trade in her perfectly planned future for the unknown. Like a child hiding from a monster, she pulls her covers up over and head with the intention of sheltering herself forever. But once an unexpected stranger shows up on her doorstep, Autumn has to choose between being alone or connecting with someone who is hurting as badly as she is.

Noah Key, an emergency room doctor. He has solemnly informed countless families that their loved one could not be saved. However, when his own wife dies suddenly there are no words to bring him comfort. His in-laws want him to fall to pieces to confirm his love for his late wife. His colleagues want him to take time off to grieve. The only thing Noah wants is to work enough hours in the day to forget his wife is gone. He’s written himself a prescription for a cocktail of distraction and exhaustion in order to trick his brain into thinking his life isn’t in shambles.

When the world keeps moving on without them, Noah and Autumn will need to decide if they’ll survive the storm or allow themselves to swept away by it.

Reviews for The Goodbye Storm

[Gina Kay Rickard · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It was really sad and brought up memories for me that I’d rather not gone to but still her books make you think of different situations from so many points of view. Worth it!

[Annette Mongal · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was the first book I read by this author. I'm impressed! There will be more of her books in my future!

[Jessica Williams · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Such a great story. The author does such a great job of conveying the complexity of grief and loss. While the content was heavy, it was a book that i couldn't stop listening to. The characters were all so endearing. I am excited to start the second book.

This book dealt with a subject few of us think about...until death of a loved one forces us into the grieving process.

I love books so much and have my whole life but never have I been so compelled to actually write a review for one! The way she describes grief is the best, closest, descriptive explanation I’ve ever read. Keep the tissues close! Off to find more of her work.

[Karen Chandler · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a great book with a good list of characters with an interesting storyline that is believable. The characters have many twists and turns to maintain interest

[Laurie Sue Dunn · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

A husband died. A wife died. Their spouses wallowed around in solitary self pity. One saved the other. The end. I only liked the juvenile delinquent who had some really great redeeming qualities.

[Mariluz · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

If you want to read a novel so you can learn about many different unhealthy ways to deal with grief, this is the perfect one. If nor, just avoid it.

[Bill Hair · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

If you are like me, listening/reading about a person who keeps themselves in a constant state of misery is depressing and a bit frustrating. I do understand grief but the two main characters took it to the extremes to the point that I actually hated both of them.

The kid was a breath of fresh air but it almost seems like this story doesn't believe that group support is beneficial. The point of the group is to help you realize that you are not alone in your feelings and that talking about your trauma typically helps free you from it's grip.

I did like the story but hated the MCs throughout. The H was a jerk who only cared about himself and the h was a person who thrived on misery. She jumped down the nurses throats because they didn't like the way the doctor treated them but she didn't even ask them why they disliked him. He treated patients as meat and the hospital staff as enemies.... Grrr!
