Lesson in Forgiveness

What a beautiful story of love and forgiveness. There are many underlying lessons in this novel a reader will not walk away unchanged .

All of the issues around facets of relationships and how each had its own challenges and triumphs.

Love the entire book. The story of women in entrepreneurship and their life’s journey through heartbreak and love was fascinating.

Good Listen!!!

Like I said it was a good listen, but a little slow. Good listen. I like a book with tons a drama that will have me looking at my co-workers cross-eyed when they interrupt me.. but this was good too

I loved this book. It was addictive from the beginning. The characters were well thought out and you could feel their emotions. I remember getting upset myself from some of the happenings. An very good read.

Good plot and performance

The story was so well told and performed. I'd like to see a part 2. It was slow to start but kept me hanging until the very end. Definitely recommend.

Amazing, why isn't this a movie yet?

This book has exceeded all my expectations. the narrator does an incredible job with voicing many different characters. never monotonous. the story line gets better and better as it moves from decade to decade. you feel like you know the characters.
