A Novel

By: Julia Whelan

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

Award-winning and fan-favorite voice actor Julia Whelan narrates her own novel! From the author of My Oxford Year, Julia Whelan’s uplifting novel tells the story of a former actress turned successful audiobook narrator—who has lost sight of her dreams after a tragic accident—and her journey of self-discovery, love, and acceptance when she agrees to narrate one last romance novel. For Sewanee Chester, being an audiobook narrator is a long way from her old dreams, but the days of being a star on film sets are long behind her. She’s found success and satisfaction from the inside of a sound booth and it allows her to care for her beloved, ailing grandmother. When she arrives in Las Vegas last-minute for a book convention, Sewanee unexpectedly spends a whirlwind night with a charming stranger.

On her return home, Sewanee discovers one of the world’s most beloved romance novelists wanted her to perform her last book—with Brock McNight, the industry’s hottest, most secretive voice. Sewanee doesn’t buy what romance novels are selling—not after her own dreams were tragically cut short—and she stopped narrating them years ago. But her admiration of the late author, and the opportunity to get her grandmother more help, makes her decision for her.

As Sewanee begins work on the book, resurrecting her old romance pseudonym, she and Brock forge a real connection, hidden behind the comfort of anonymity. Soon, she is dreaming again, but secrets are revealed, and the realities of life come crashing down around her once more.

If she can learn to risk everything for desires she has long buried, she will discover a world of intimacy and acceptance she never believed would be hers.

I love her!

I listen to most of her audiobooks and I’ll always read or listen to anything she writes because, YES, she’s just that good, EVERY SINGLE TIME! This is no exception! Precious book and characters! Real life people that you can relate to!

Funny, uplifting, great characters.

I loved this book, with its glimpse into the narrators world given by an excellent narrator.

Multiple characters fully developed, with storyline follow through, which linked every detail presented by the end, was a delight.

Did I mention funny, lol funny?

Oh, it comes with some great life lessons as well.

A few parts got a bit heavy, but no more than the story needed to proceed, without lingering in the dark before returning to the light. Overall uplifting and enjoyable.

Excellent narrated by the fabulous author Julia Whelan
