A Life Unraveled

De: Jill Hannah Anderson

Narrado por: Sophie Amoss

A Life Unraveled is the story of kindergarten teacher Lily Gallo, who is a happily married mother of three with a perfect life - until the day she is brutally attacked while out for a run.

Lily grew up on a farm and always considered herself resilient. But when the small town’s high school football hero is arrested and convicted for the attack, Lily and her family suffer retaliation from some of the community, enticing Lily to wrap herself in an opioid cloud. When she puts her daughters’ lives in jeopardy, the wake-up call motivates Lily to flush the narcotics and clean up her life. But the clarity she expects is overshadowed by unnerving memory lapses.

As unexplained events become more disturbing, Lily believes that, although her attacker started the destruction, someone else is determined to finish it.

Jill’s books continue to be among my favorites!

Great story! Jill Hannah Anderson continues to write incredibly interesting stories. Well done audio book.

Good.. but…

Since it’s included for free I can’t complain. The story starts out interesting which I really like but then it’s a bit tedious. A simple video surveillance could’ve saved this couple so much distress so it feels like a major hole that was never suggested especially with police actively involved. And it gets far fetched but still all in all an ok listen.

Enjoyable despite the subject matter

The story starts off with a violent attack of the main character. I thought that at some point the story would lag but it kept me engaged. And I love when stories throw in red herrings.

Surprising

A well written story with an accurate representation of addiction and trauma twisted with suspense. About midway through I started to doubt whether I would enjoy the entire thing but I did!

Very Good Story Line

Even though this book is about a victim of a crime, this book has a good story line. It is thought provoking, wonderful insight even though fiction. Wonderful Narration.

This book made me want more!

I don’t even like stories like this or at least that’s what I had thought. I only read/listen to topics on health, self help or medical stuff. I had invited Jill on Second Wind the podcast after a previous guest who recommended her. After the interview I felt obliged to give this story a read. Surprise! I loved it! I was locked in and wished it wouldn’t end. Jill creates such a “set” for this story and the reader “see’s” everything as if it were on a movie screen. When I think back to parts of the book, I can actually see the scene and feel what was happening. What a gift, what a talent! Please keep writing!

Mystery and suspense rolled into an everyday life

I couldn't put this down. I had to know how it all ended. A normal life, a loving family, and it all comes unglued.

SUCH a page turner!

I listened to this book over the course of two days. I found it to be exciting, engaging, and every bit relatable (except for one part). Absolutely worth the listen.

Excellent listen

Interesting storyline about the twists and turns of life and some pretty extreme hardships. Characters were interesting and keeps the reader guessing who can be trusted. The narrator did an excellent job as well.

Not suspenseful or a thriller

A good listen but it is not suspenseful or a thriller. While you are wondering what is going on with the main character I would not call it a thriller or a mystery. If you are looking for a great psychological thriller or mystery this is not the book for you however it was good. And I love Sophie Amos.
