Narrado por: Kellen Boyle, Eliana Marianes, Leanne Woodward

Return to Lake in the Clouds, Colorado, with this feel-good, emotional story about family, healing, and second chances from a New York Times bestselling author!

Genevieve Prentice is learning that reinventing herself is a bit like downsizing a house. Deciding what to keep and what needs to go gets complicated. After settling into life in Lake in the Clouds, Colorado, with her sister’s help, she’s finally finding her balance. But Genevieve’s newfound steadiness is threatened when her daughter Willow unexpectedly arrives carrying a mountain of emotional baggage.

Willow Eldridge needs a fresh start, but that can’t happen until she comes clean about her family’s secrets. Thankfully, between caring for her two young children and planning her brother’s wedding, Willow has plenty of reasons to delay the uncomfortable heart-to-heart with her mother. Yet when Willow grows close to her kind but standoffish neighbor and suspects he is keeping secrets of his own, she realizes there’s no moving forward without facing what came before…

Can Genevieve and Willow jettison the pain of the past to create the future they so desperately crave? Beneath the crystal blue skies of Lake in the Clouds, anything seems possible.

Lovable characters, well, written

I didn’t want the story to end I’m curious, which of the children’s story will be next. I can’t wait for the next one!!

Another good story from Emily March

I have listened to a few novels from this author and enjoy the series and all the characters. The only thing that was hard to get past was the reader for Willow. She spoke too quickly and sounded more like a teenager getting through a report with poor inflections. It was not well suited for this character and took a lot of focus not to be distracted by it.

Smile stuck on my face

I had a huge grin on my face when the book ended. Ms. March creates the best characters and I love her story telling- waiting for the next one… hope she continues this story

Predictable

It was entertaining. But too much description. Dragged in places and then super fast in others. Not the best one I’ve listened too.

The love of family

I enjoyed the romance for Willow and Noah and his love for her children Drew and Emma

Another WINNER!

NO,NO,NO I didn't want it to end!!!!! You hooked me with the first word! When is the next one!

there's still lots of life left for seniors to enjoy

This is part of my most enjoyable series by one of favorite authors. I loved the story.

Meh

I was disappointed. The story is underdeveloped. There were times I wondered if it was AI generated. Seriously, what modern mother uses the word “ febrile” ? I felt the narration was like listening to a high school play and found it annoying. I was looking forward to this sequel but it fell flat. I fail to see how Genevieve found her balance.

Narrator was a struggle

I enjoyed the story but listening to this narration was painful. It just didn’t flow as well as book one.
