Captivating characters

One of the most intriguing complicated interrelationship stories I have ever had the pleasure to listen to.

Relatable

How twisted our lives can be and how even at 70 years old we can resolve old hurts and fears and even find remanded if that’s what we are looking for in our later years. Great story

So enjoyable

This book was so entertaining and gripping! A treat story with emotional twists. Beautifully detailed and the narration was perfect! Highly recommend this book!

A pleasant read about a complicated family

I thought the story was a little rushed and hard to follow at times. Also, the accents were a bit heavy at times. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this story. The author paints a vivid picture that the narrator really brings to life. Filled with likable characters and an interesting storyline, I'd definitely recommend this to anyone hoping to hear a story about healing family wounds.
