Kim Edwards now gives us the story of a woman's homecoming, a family secret, and the old house that holds the key to the true legacy of a family. At a crossroads in her life, Lucy Jarrett returns home from Japan, only to find herself haunted by her father's unresolved death a decade ago. Old longings stirred up by Keegan Fall, a local glass artist who was once her passionate first love, lead her into the unexpected. Late one night, as she paces the hallways of her family's rambling lakeside house, she discovers, locked in a window seat, a collection of objects that first appear to be useless curiosities, but soon reveal a deeper and more complex family past.

I loved it

What made the experience of listening to The Lake of Dreams the most enjoyable?
I liked the narrator despite the other reviews.
Any additional comments?
I read the reviews and have now listened to the audiobook 3 times. I think the narrator has a sense of peacefulness in her voice, it does not seem slow to me. For those of us obsessed with genealogy, this audiobook fit the bill. I found myself wishing I could find out what Lucy had found out and to actually find a relative in their family still alive is priceless. I enjoyed the story and will listen to it again.

In this book, Galaxy tells the poignant story of his 13-year relationship with a petite gray-and-white short-haired cat named Benny, and gives singular advice for living with, caring for, and loving the feline in your home. When Benny arrived in his life, Galaxy was a down-and-out rock musician with not too much more going on than a part-time job at an animal shelter and a drug problem. Benny's previous owner brought the cat to the shelter in a cardboard box to give him up.

You have to listen to this book
Revisado: 08-15-14
Would you listen to Cat Daddy again? Why?
Yes. Lots of cat information. Things that I had never thought of.
Have you listened to any of Jackson Galaxy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, I cried. The Benny part. I was truly touched.
Any additional comments?
This audiobook is something worth spending your money on. You might think this is all about cats and how Mr. Galaxy got his start in the cat business, and you would be right to a degree. It is also a story of personal growth and self awareness and the personal demons that some of us have to overcome. I was surprised to hear the words "dry drunk," a term that I used on my ex-husband 20 years ago to which he said he had no idea of what I was talking about. I knew immediately what Jackson was talking about. My ex also said that I would never understand the world of addiction/alcohol abuse and he was right. But Jackson has a way with words so you immediately understand what he is talking about. His choice of words was well thought out and anyone who reads/listens to the book will understand and hopefully have some awareness of what he went through to get where he is today. Definitely worth taking the time to listen. I have a new found respect for him.
