The most compelling book I’ve read in years!

Revisado: 10-03-24

Where does one begin to describe such a turbulent time in the U.S., the agonizing and powerful grips of the realities of such a war, and the many struggles for healing, inner strength, and peace for those fortunate to return from the Viet Nam war? As a nurse anesthetist myself, I have seen many traumas and catastrophic injuries stateside. But to manage those as a steady patient flow, under rudimentary circumstances, had to have been a living nightmare. I am a child of the 60s and I recall wearing a POW bracelet for years. This story means something to me. I am a military brat and had a cousin and an uncle shot down in Nam. Kristin Hannah told this story in a deeply moving, human style that made me feel as though I were actually a very present onlooker. I came to feel like I knew these women and their struggles. The writing was outstanding and the narrator was on point every step of the way through the book. This is, by far, the most powerful, compelling, and BEST book I’ve read in many years. It is definitely in the top five of books I’ve ever read.

We’ll crafted storyline

Revisado: 08-31-24

In a short time span a sufficiently deep storyline was developed to keep the reader guessing. I figured it out early but other scenarios were equally likely. I enjoyed the listen.

Excellent Narration

Revisado: 03-20-24

I enjoyed the story and the slow but steady pace of lifetimes told in an appropriately timed manner. Insight into the lives, of those like the characters who most certainly are operating around the globe, was fascinating. The narration couldn’t have been better!

Extremely amateur and monotone narrator, slow predictable story

Revisado: 01-26-24

Narrator ruined it- story was juvenile, slow, predictable and boring. Shadow, the dog, was the best character.

Predictable and unnecessarily obscene

Revisado: 12-02-23

Slow and quite predictable. No real plot twists here except for the obscenities thrown in to the story. Parts of the book read like I imagine soft porn would. I kept hoping the author would redeem herself and some modicum of decency. I would not recommend the book to anyone. I regret the time I lost listening to this audiobook!

Twisted story-good read

Revisado: 09-28-23

I enjoyed the story and plot twists, but Jo’s naïveté was somewhat irritating. The narration was well done - no annoying habits of the reader.

Uplifting, serene, and joyful

Revisado: 05-23-23

I love this series - each book seems even better than the last as I “get to know” the characters better. Jan Moran writes such clean, heartfelt stories that leave me calmed, more hopeful, and happier each time I resume the book. I’m delighted to have found Ms.Moran and plan to read everything she’s written!

Sweet, predictable, and heartwarming

Revisado: 01-22-23

I always enjoy Debbie Macomber’s uplifting, sweet, and wholesome books. This one was in step with others I’ve read written by her. The life lessons, importance of family, friends, care for animals, and love of country infused this story with a touching sweetness. I would recommend without reservations.
