About this listen
An Amazon Charts Bestseller.
A novel of secrets, memory, family, and forgiveness by the bestselling author of When Never Comes.
Lizzy Moon never wanted Moon Girl Farm. Eight years ago, she left the land that nine generations of gifted healers had tended, determined to distance herself from the whispers about her family’s strange legacy. But when her beloved grandmother Althea dies, Lizzy must return and face the tragedy still hanging over the farm’s withered lavender fields: the unsolved murders of two young girls, and the cruel accusations that followed Althea to her grave.
Lizzy wants nothing more than to sell the farm and return to her life in New York, until she discovers a journal Althea left for her - a Book of Remembrances meant to help Lizzy embrace her own special gifts. When she reconnects with Andrew Greyson, one of the few in town who believed in Althea’s innocence, she resolves to clear her grandmother’s name.
But to do so, she’ll have to decide if she can accept her legacy and whether to follow in the footsteps of all the Moon women who came before her.

With her trusty German Shephard RBG - Ruff Barker Ginsburg - by her side, what can go wrong? Okay, sure, bumping into her ex Scott or her former high-school nemesis Tricia is a drag. It certainly doesn't help that they’ve acquired the new hobby of shoving their recent engagement in her face every chance they get. But that doesn't mean Quinn wanted to find Tricia dead in the road.

Pragmatic, independent Lily St. Claire has never been a beachgoer. But when her late father leaves her a small house on Hideaway Key—one neither her mother nor she knew he owned—she's determined to visit the sleepy spit of land along Florida's Gulf Coast. Expecting a quaint cottage, Lily instead finds a bungalow with peeling shutters and mountains of memorabilia. She also catches a glimpse of the architect who lives down the beach.

Synopsis is well-written but misleading. Minimal mystery. Women’s fiction w angsty melodrama.

Something different
What a great story. A little bit supernatural, a little bit domestically challenged family, a love story, and a murder mystery all packed into one great book. The book flows well and keeps you listening with twists and the reader is wonderful with her different voices for each character and she keeps a great pace the whole book.

Four stars as a bedtime story
Whispered narration....Typical distressed beautiful girl returns to settle tragic family affairs and eventually winds up with.....surprise! childhood hunk who she didn't feel she deserved. Couple that with a narrator who whispers the entire story.....and it sends even the best insomniac to sleep.

Read
I loved the story of the book. The voice of the reader was particularly annoying. 5 stars for book, 0 for performer. I still enjoy the fact that I can multitask with audio.
