Echoes of Us

A Novel

De: Joy Jordan-Lake

Narrado por: Caroline Hewitt

From the bestselling author of Under a Gilded Moon comes the soaring story of an unlikely friendship of three men and one extraordinary woman and the legacy they built—if their own secrets don’t destroy it.

In the midst of World War II, a Tennessee farm boy, a Jewish Cambridge student, and a German POW forge a connection that endures—against all odds.

But now everything that Will Dobbins, Dov Silverberg, and Hans Hessler fought for is at risk as their descendants clash for control of the corporation they founded together. In an attempt to remake its tattered corporate image, the firm hires event planner Hadley Jacks and her sister Kitzie to organize a reunion for the families on St. Simons Island, Georgia, the place that changed all three men’s lives forever.

As Hadley and her sister delve into the friends’ past, they uncover the life of the courageous young woman who links them all together…and the old wounds that could tear everything apart.

Told in dual timelines spanning World War II and the present, Echoes of Us follows the ripple effects of war, the bonds that outlast it, and the hope that ultimately carries us forward.

Immersive and intriguing!

I loved this book! The writing is beautiful, characters are believable and brilliantly drawn, and the historical aspects are fascinating. I’m not always a fan of audio versions, but thought that this reader did an incredible job — adding to my enjoyment of the book.

A great history lesson

This is a very interesting very detailed book chronicling the unlikely connections of a group of people in Georgia during WW2.
Well thought out and deftly narrated I found myself totally caught up in the entire saga.
