About this listen
New York Times best-selling author Robyn Carr creates an emotional and uplifting ensemble of characters in this rags-to-riches-to-rags novel about women, friendship, and the complex path to happiness.
In the aftermath of her financier husband's suicide, Emma Shay Compton's dream life is shattered. Richard Compton stole his clients' life savings to fund a lavish life in New York City, and, although she was never involved in the business, Emma bears the burden of her husband's crimes. She is left with nothing. Only one friend stands by her, a friend she's known since high school, who encourages her to come home to Sonoma County.
But starting over isn't easy, and Sonoma is full of unhappy memories, too. And people she'd rather not face, especially Riley Kerrigan. Riley and Emma were like sisters - until Riley betrayed Emma, ending their friendship. Emma left town, planning to never look back. Now, trying to stand on her own two feet, Emma can't escape her husband's reputation and is forced to turn to the last person she thought she'd ever ask for help - her former best friend.
It's an uneasy reunion as both women face the mistakes they've made over the years. Only if they find a way to forgive each other - and themselves - can each of them find the life she wants.

Great read/listen
It was a Great story, easy listen. I
truly love listening to Therese Plummer read.
Not sure the ending was enough for me. It felt like it was wrapped up too quickly perhaps.
The only thing I didn’t like was the really long sex scene. Could have done without the details there.
But all in all another great read.

Great Novel
Especially love the narrator. I listen to the narrate for other authors.
The book was funny and then heart wrenching at times. Many twists and turns. A book about holding grudges and how they destroy the individual more than the one they are angry at!

Good listen
I’m glad I stayed with it. After listening to multiple vampire books, it took a bit to shift into the “normal”. But the story took shape. It kept me listening. I’ll definitely be checking out more of her books.

Good story..but gave up at the sex scene
Wish one could Fast Forward through the sex scenes. Only looking for a story escape...not a sleazy Harlequin romance. Geez. Too bad..story was decent.

Loved it!
For once women are not saved by a man. They are strong individuals that overcome stuff that we hold onto, until we truly mature.
