What others are saying about Getting There.

When author Sandra Bloom left heroine Kacey Doyle in the convent at the end of Waiting to Believe, we knew the story was far from over.  Getting There begins as Kacey flees the convent before taking final vows, continuing a search for meaning and connection in the face of family disapproval and wrenching loss.  Evoking the heady, idealistic 1960s, this is a story richly imagined, continually surprising, cast with unbelievably flawed and fully human characters.
– ERIN HART, AUTHOR OF HAUNTED GROUND

In her new novel, Getting There, a follow-up to the popular Waiting to Believe, Sandra Kjarstad Bloom takes us back to the Doyle family and to Kacey Doyle who struggles with an implacable inner voice demanding, “Make a difference!  Do some good!”  With a deft hand, Bloom navigates the perilous twists and stunning revelations that will lead Kacey to an unimagined place of doing some good.

I loved the continuation of Kacey’s story. I found it to be a page-turner, just waiting to see what she would do with her new life. What a wonderful character!
