About this listen

Is it so much to ask to be allowed to die in peace?" Berthie's plea echoes through the quiet room as she lies on her deathbed, eating cold beans and wishing her life was already over.

She can't help but think of Mick, the love of her life, and their twisting story. She's loved him since childhood when she dreamed of how they would make their life together in Cedar Hollow. Little did she know that while she was planning their future, he was planning to run off and join the army at the start of World War I.

Despite knowing it was wrong, Berthie remained determined to rekindle their love, even if it meant going against everything she'd ever known and sacrificing all. Years of secrets, lies, and difficult choices kept them mostly apart until fate brought them back together for good during the chaos of World War II.

But her conniving, loathsome sister Neva holds dear all the secrets and lies they managed to hide from for all these years. She's made it clear that she plans to ruin Berthie's chance to die quietly.

Will their love be enough to overcome the betrayal that threatens to tear their family apart? What can Berthie do about it while she lies in bed waiting for her last breaths?

This small mountain community intertwines lives in ways no outsider could imagine. As Berthie reminisces about fighting for the man she always wanted, she realizes that she loves him almost as much as he loves her - a love that has stood the test of time.

For fans of historical romance and southern small-town drama, "The Real Berthie" is a must-read. With captivating storytelling and unforgettable characters, this novel will sweep you away on a journey of heartache, secrets, second chances, and true love.
