The Golfer's Carol

De: Robert Bailey

Narrado por: Jon Lindstrom

An inspirational and heartwarming novel for lovers of Mitch Albom and Andy Andrews, blending elements of It's a Wonderful Life and Field of Dreams into a moving story all its own.

Four rounds. Four heroes. Four life-changing lessons.

On the morning of his 40th birthday, Randy Clark believes the only way he can help his family is to end it all. Standing on the Tennessee River Bridge in Decatur, Alabama, with his dreams of a pro golf career long gone, his marriage struggling, and facing financial ruin, Randy sees no other alternative to help his wife and daughter but to jump, which he plans to do in the next 24 hours.

But his plans are put on hold when the ghost of his best friend - who did live out the fantasy of playing the PGA tour - reveals to Randy that he will be given a wonderful gift: four rounds of golf with his four heroes, the champions he's looked up to his whole life, each with a life-changing lesson to impart.

For anyone who has ever dealt with tragedy, adversity, or failure, The Golfer's Carol will bring grace that stays with you long after you've listened to the last moments.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Inspirational fiction is a tough genre for a writer because the story must ring true or its power is lost. The Golfer’s Carol - the latest offering from best-selling author Robert Bailey - is sharp in its dialogue, real with its relationships, and fascinating in details of the game. That combination not only reveals how well Bailey nails the concept, it greatly increases the power and value of what will be a ‘go to’ gift for many people." (Andy Andrews, New York Times best-selling author of The Noticer and The Traveler’s Gift)

"A fun, fast read, this novel kind of sneaks its wisdom up on you. I thought it splendid." (Homer Hickam, author Rocket Boys and Carrying Albert Home)

“A celebration of faith, family, and the human spirit, The Golfer’s Carol is a page-turning story of love and second chances that is sure to become a classic. The four inspiring lessons will stay with readers long after the last page is turned.” (Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump)

Fabulous book

My dad was a golfer. Listening to this story took me back to days of watching the Masters with my dad. Robert Bailey did another great job with this story.

Slow in the middle

It’s a good story. However, the pace slowed down around chapter 11. I stuck w it through the slow (and repetitive) part and was pleased w the ending.
