The Midwest Book Review - December Issue, 2025

By Suzie Housley

Synopsis: Beneath the neon blaze and hypnotic pulse of Las Vegas, two broken lives collide in a story woven with loss, longing, and the search for redemption.

Debra, newly widowed and drowning in heartache, can’t imagine a future without the man she loved. John, crushed by the overdose that stole his son, carries a guilt so heavy it has hollowed out every corner of his life. Both arrive in Vegas with the same devastating purpose—to disappear from a world that has already taken too much from them. In a city known for its shadows as much as its sparkle, their despair seems right at home.

Then fate intervenes. A brief encounter between two strangers unravels the plans each came to carry out. Despite their attempts to hide their wounds, Debra and John feel an undeniable pull—a connection born from pain, yet unexpectedly life-giving.

But Jim, a dark and disquieting figure who appears to stalk John’s every move, soon threatened their fragile bond. Whether Jim is a true menace or the embodiment of John’s spiraling mind becomes a haunting question that neither can ignore.

As their lives become entwined, Debra and John must face the ghosts they carry, the guilt they’ve buried, and the darkness that follows close behind. Yet, in each other, they discover something they thought impossible—the first glimmer of healing, and the fragile hope that maybe, just maybe, life still has something to offer. Their resilience in the face of such overwhelming odds is a testament to the human spirit.

Critique: Vegas Goodbye unfolds against the backdrop of a city where nothing is quite what it seems. Amid the shimmer and illusion, the story delivers a stirring reminder that even in our darkest moments, the chance for renewal can appear when we least expect it—sometimes in the space of a single breath.

Donna M. Cramer writes with remarkable emotional depth, guiding readers to the very edge of two lives unraveling under the weight of unbearable sorrow. Her characters, exhausted by the battles of life has forced upon them, escape to a city brimming with noise and movement—a place where they believe their disappearance would go unnoticed. Their emotional journey is one that readers will find deeply relatable.

This book is a powerhouse of raw, honest emotion. Cramer’s vivid descriptions and powerful prose draw readers so deeply into the story that the characters’ pain, fear, and fragile hope feel like their own.
