Resumen del Editor

A USA Today best seller!

Hurricane Season is the story of one family’s unconventional journey to healing - and the relationships that must be mended along the way.

Betsy and Ty Franklin, owners of Franklin Dairy Farm in Southern Alabama, have long since buried their desire for children of their own. While Ty manages their herd of dairy cows, Betsy busies herself with the farm’s day-to-day operations and tries to forget her dream of motherhood. But when her free-spirited sister, Jenna, drops off her two young daughters for “just two weeks”, Betsy’s carefully constructed wall of self-protection begins to crumble.

As the two weeks stretch deeper into the Alabama summer, Betsy and Ty learn to navigate the new additions in their world - and revel in the laughter that now fills their home. Meanwhile, record temperatures promise to usher in the most active hurricane season in decades.

Attending an art retreat four hundred miles away, Jenna is fighting her own battles. She finally has time and energy to focus on her photography, a lifelong ambition. But she wonders how her rediscovered passion can fit in with the life she’s made back home as a single mom.

When Hurricane Ingrid aims a steady eye at the Alabama coast, Jenna must make a decision that will change her family’s future, even as Betsy and Ty try to protect their beloved farm and their hearts.

“A poignant and heartfelt tale of sisterhood, motherhood, and marriage, Hurricane Season deftly examines the role that coming to terms with the past plays in creating a hopeful future. Readers will devour this story of the hurricanes - both literal and figurative - that shape our lives.” (Kristy Woodson Harvey, national best-selling author of Slightly South of Simple)

New to me author

Great read. I was taken in by the real life characters and the suspense of the situation.

Good listen

This was a good listen.
It kind of pushed parental buttons for me, though.
Yes, it’s about sisters and relationships, but as a parent, I was troubled by what I perceived as selfish-irresponsible choices (by both sisters).
The ending was a bit anti-climatic….

Great book!

Such a lovely story and it was easy to get immediately into the characters. The narrator had the perfect voice for this book. A really enjoyable listen.

To predictable

Knew the end after a few chapters. however liked the characters of the children.

Not great

The story was a cute listen to pass the time but not something I’d recommend to a friend. Also, the narration was generally fine but her terrible accent for Carlos really turned me off.

Beautiful story!

Story of how family is so very important. Loved it. Would recommend good read. Beautiful

I thought it was a great story

It was great storyline kept me interested love the narrator for life
Good characters Kept me interested in the storyline I like books work, and be like true to life

Another Lauren Denton home-run!

Ms. Denton has such a way of capturing the slow / yet energetic tempo of southern living. I have listened to many of her audiobooks and intend on listening to her entire collection.

The challenges relationships

I enjoyed the way the author devoted entire chapters to one of the main characters.

Sweet but simple.

if you are looking for an easy listen on sisterly angst and set in the South this is for you. It let's you in for the pass of a hurricane and accurately portrays a night when one passes over your home leaving minimal damage. Loved the narrator. If you want a great novel to sink your teeth into you might want to pass on this one. Good, but not great.
