Help....It's like the last chapter was ripped from a book.

I have been listening to books on CD lately.  I started about two years ago.  Never thought I would be the type to listen to a book when I could be reading one.  But, welcome to the world of being a mother of teenagers.  I am in my car so much driving them around and waiting for them to get out of practice that I started listening to books on CD.

I was listening to Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen.  I absolutely loved Water for Elephants ( I read that one) that when I saw this CD at the library I grabbed it. 

Like Water for Elephants, Gruen captured me right from the beginning of this new remarkable novel.  She has truly done it again.  It takes on a journey with Anne Marie after a riding accident.  Fast forward 15 years and we discover that she has never truly healed from this accident.  She ends up moving back home with her teenage daughter to discover her father's illness and the remnants of her old life.  She realizes she had been running away this whole time and she needs to reconcile herself with her past if she is to have a future.

Here's my problem though.  The last track of the CD is somehow ruined and I can't hear the last chapter of the novel.  Now I have to go to the library and get the book just so I can finish it.  I won't have time to do that for a couple of days!!!  Ack!!  All of you readers know that this is a new (Dante) circle of hell.  I was in love with this novel and was really enjoying it and now I am on hold.

I truly recommend this novel.  If you loved Water for Elephants, which I did, you will love Riding Lesssons too!
