"Until My Soul Gets it Right" - from the Bibliophiles series

This work of contemporary fiction is part of Berner's "Bibliophile" series, which explores the stories and hidden secrets of the ladies in a suburban book club. Join Catherine's journey as she moves across the country, in search of herself.

This book goes back to Catherine's childhood, and brings her story forward to the present. It changed my opinion of Catherine for the better. It's a story that anyone should be able to relate who has wanted to escape where they grew up, for whatever reason. Berner has a talent with prose that flows smoothly and puts the reader right where they belong, inside the character's head. Until My Soul Gets It Right is another winner. -- Big Al's Books and Pals

Until My Soul Gets It Right (The Bibliophiles: Book Two) by Karen Wojcik Berner

You can’t run away from yourself.

Catherine Elbert has never been good at making decisions, whether it was choosing an ice cream flavor as a small child, or figuring out what she wanted to be when she grew up. The only thing Catherine knew for sure was there had to be more to life than being stuck on her family’s farm in Wisconsin.

While watching a PBS travel show, Catherine becomes entranced by Portland, Maine. The ocean. The lobsters. The rugged coast. Nothing could be more different from the flat, nondescript farmlands of Burkesville.

Despite her parents threatening to disown her and her brothers taking bets on how many days until she comes home, Catherine settles on Peaks Island, off the coast of Portland.

She is finally free.

Or so she thought.

"Until My Soul Gets It Right" is a story about growing up, making peace with your past, and finding a little love along the way.
