Harriet Hates Lemonade

De: Kim McCollum

Narrado por: Theresa Bakken

Meet Harriet. But don't be surprised if she isn't interested in meeting you.

Harriet has life all figured out, and she doesn't hesitate to inform others of their shortcomings. Though her attempts to become president of the homeowner's association failed, that doesn't stop her from berating "off-leash-dog-man" or reporting the neighbor who had the audacity to leave their Easter decorations up an entire week past the holiday. The problem is, unbeknownst to her, Harriet's rigid rules and judgmental opinions are not her own.

Her ordered life plunges into chaos when a twelve-year-old neighbor knocks on Harriet's door seeking help because the girl's father is physically abusing her mother. Reluctantly, Harriet comes to her neighbor's aid and, in the process, recognizes her own insidious abuse which has unwittingly shaped her isolated, rigid existence. To escape her crushing loneliness, she must learn to break free from the patterns of control and isolation that have defined her life and learn to connect with people she previously viewed as heathens.

Loved! Loved!

I found this book by accident and decided to take a chance on it. I listened to it in a day and a half. It was a wonderful book. The narration was perfect for the character. I highly recommend this book.
