A Piece of Heaven

A Novel

De: Barbara O'Neal

Narrado por: Raquel Beattie

Against the sunbaked hills of New Mexico, two broken hearts come together in a poignant novel about family, love, and healing by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids.

Luna McGraw struggles to conquer the addictions that destroyed her marriage and caused her to lose custody of her beloved daughter, Joy. After eight years, Joy is back and Luna aims to rebuild everything that fell apart. She has a therapeutic job as a florist, a loving mother’s support, and a new man in her life who makes Luna feel things she’s been afraid to feel since forever.

Thomas Coyote is a gentle soul who has built a little piece of heaven against the beautiful backdrop of the Taos mountains. With an ex-wife married to his brother, Coyote knows a thing or two himself about betrayal and tattered dreams. When he meets Luna, his guard is coming down. But as strong as the attraction is between them, Luna doesn’t want to make another mistake.

It’ll take a while for her to forgive the sins of a manipulative husband, to mend the broken heart of a child, and to open herself up to love again. This time, Luna wants to get it right.

Revised edition: This edition of A Piece of Heaven includes editorial revisions.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“An original and deftly crafted story by Barbara O'Neal, Piece of Heaven is an irresistible novel full of colorful characters and lush settings of the American Southwest laid out in a brilliant tapestry of romance and magical realism. …brilliantly narrated by Rawuel Beattle.” —Midwest Book Review

“A deep and wise love story . . . Mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters—there’s something wonderful here for every reader.” —Jo-Ann Mapson, Author of Bad Girl Creek and Along Came Mary

“[O'Neal] has created truly three-dimensional characters, filled with flaws, strengths, and idiosyncrasies. As lyrical as a Spanish ballad, peppered with Southwestern metaphors and allusions, and written in a style evocative of Barbara Kingsolver at her best.” —Library Journal

So good

Another great Audible book
I learned cool information about New Mexico.
Very nice story about caring and loving.

Easy, Breezy Summer Reading

I wasn't going to rate it 4 stars, but it just seemed it was earned. I liked the fact that it's set in Taos, NM, a place I love. I liked the way cultures blended. I love that it was written before people were so divided by politics. Mostly, I hated then appreciated how the author through this story showed me that being "in your head" too much can hold you back or cause you to miss opportunities. This book is perfect for reading at the pool, beach, airport, long car ride.

Such a nice and heartwarming story

I did not anticipate liking this book so much. thank you for including stories of Tupac, La Virgen de Guadalupe and El Santo Niño.

interesting book with human fraility ,healing and moving on.

I didn't what to expect but I enjoyed it. it was an interesting read. It was also thought provoking on human fraility.

Everything happens for a reason

I loved the twists and turns that led the reader to the ultimate ending. This book was not without drama, love and resilience.
