Now to Forever

Life on the Ledge Duet, Book 2

De: Ashley Manley

Narrado por: Marie Hawkins

Can a past plagued by loss lead to a second chance at happiness?

Scotty Armstrong has spent the last twenty years running the town crematorium and keeping everyone and everything at arm's length. She lives life just the way she likes it, alone and unattached. All that changes when her late brother's best friend—and former love of her life—Ford Callahan, comes back into town and starts dredging up unwanted feelings she thought were ancient history.

After being left a house potentially worth a small fortune, Scotty decides it's the break she's been waiting for. She'll renovate it, sell it, and move as far away from Ledger, North Carolina, as she can get, leaving her past and the people in it behind her once and for all.

But escaping the town proves to be harder than she'd hoped. When a disgruntled teen shows up on her steps, her best friend asks for a Thanksgiving favor, and Ford seems unable to take a hint, Scotty is forced to face all the feelings she hasn't had for two decades.

After new details of the past and present are brought to light, Scotty must decide if her happiness lies in a faraway town filled with strangers or with the people who know her best in the place she can't seem to escape.

For mature listeners.

Narrator did a great job bringing Ashley Manley’s book to life!

I have only read Ashley Manley’s books. But when she announced she was taking them to Audible, I knew I would love it even more. The story is fantastic and the narrator did a great job bringing the pages to life. Scotty’s story is touching and reminds me of the importance of mental health and loving yourself and your story. The story is so authentic and relatable. I will be thinking back to Scotty and Ford’s story often. 🩷

My new favorite author has done it again. I have now read all of her released books and devoured them in 24 hours. I love her writing, character development and storytelling.
