About this listen

Karen and Val are family - yet they're anything but close. Karen has carried the burden of responsibility for her aging mother ever since her gorgeous sister left town years ago to pursue a career in theater. But Val had darker reasons for leaving town - as well as a secret to keep - and coming home has never been an option...until their mother suffers a stroke.

Reunited in their hometown, Karen and Val must grapple with their past mistakes, their relationship with each other, and their issues with a mother who is far from ideal. When a physical therapist raising his daughter alone and a handsome but hurting musician enter the picture, the summer takes on a whole new dimension. As their lives intersect and entwine, can each learn how to forgive, how to let go, and how to move on? And strengthened by the healing power of faith, might they also find the courage to love?

Good story line. Not a good listen.

I don't like to say negative things about people but I really feel like the performance took away from the listening and the book. Maybe some acting lessons would help with the inflection.
On a note to the author I really wished they would say that a long sentence that ended in 'she thought' should start with it instead. I would think 'you go girl' only to realize they never said it out loud.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
