Review of The Limited Edition Bicentennial Cadillac Convertible Joy Ride
In The Limited Edition Bicentennial Cadillac Convertible Joy Ride by Michael Jai Grant, two vastly different women of diverse ages and upbringings find solace in each other after being lied to by their families. Muriel Grace Worth was a seventy-seven-year-old woman who grew up in a well-heeled family and later moved to sunny Florida. She and her husband, Ira Daniel Worth, accumulated property and money for their children and grandchildren through meticulous saving and adherence to strict money management principles. At the same time, Eve Harvick grew up in a broken-down home and was forced to get a job in a care home before she turned seventeen. What connection could these two contrasting women have in common?
I liked this fast-paced story because it featured broken people who decided to improve themselves by focusing not on their problems, but on their problem-solving and troubleshooting techniques. Eve’s parents were divorced and her mom, Judith, had joined a religious sect that commanded all her attention. Amid a simmering negative mother-daughter relationship, Eve was forced to assume some economic responsibility in their home. Even so, what she did next forced her mom to take notice.
I was able to connect with the theme of friendship in this novel. Muriel and Eve’s unexpected sisterhood only cemented my belief in the proverb that said, ‘Every cloud has a silver lining.’ I disliked nothing in this novel. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised that the book was exceptionally edited, considering it was such a long novel. Thus, I rated it 5 out of 5 stars.
Apart from friendship and spirituality, any reader looking for a book about redemption and forgiveness need not look any further than this. In the story, you will find liars and schemers who get to redeem themselves. At the same time, this is not an easy book. If you are turned off by queer narrative and excessive swearing, then this isn’t a book for you.
