Love ML and Kelley!

This is my favorite author and narrator. Kelley has so many voices you never gets them confused and ML well, she is just amazing too. Thank you both for another fantastic read!!

A fantastic Year of Discovery!

Twelve women, all facing their own challenges, are all connected in some way to one woman... when Meredith passes away, it sets things in motion for each of these ladies to deal with their issues.

ML Hamilton writes with such feeling and emotion. She’s not afraid to tackle tough topics, and she does it with care and consideration. I highly recommend this series!

Kelley Hazen is the perfect narrator to bring this series to life. It’s so much more than just reading a story... You really get a sense of each characters personality and you can feel all the emotions as she performs. Truly an emotional experience.

What an Amazing Series!

Normally, I don’t like dramas. M.L. Hamilton is an incredible writer! I loved Zion Sawyer, adored Peyton Brooks and now The Year of Discovery…WOW!!! What a diverse writer with an uncanny ability to create very real characters. And Kelley Hazen is one of the best narrators I’ve ever heard! M.L. Hamilton has become my favorite author! Can’t get enough!!!

Excellent

This series is fabulous! I laughed and cried and laughed again. It is real, timely, and brutally honest! Read this series!

Unbelievable

What an incredible collection of stories all in one place. The Narrator takes us on the journey through the characters’ world. By the time you get to the end, you don’t really want it to end.

Absolutely Superb

I absolutely love this box set. Every book in this series were superbly written and narrated. I would definitely recommend this set of books to anyone looking for a great set of books to read. The narrator was absolutely great. I have listened to multiple narrations and she is one of my favorite narrators.

A Great Series

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it inspiring.  I don't listen to much fiction,  instead I prefer more action and suspense, which is now happening as the series grows.  It all started  with a death of a daughter, sister, and friend, when she leaves a personal message to every family member to be read after her death.   Meredith's  death has brought twelve women together, each drawing strength from the very tragic time for the Yale family.   Her death has touched all these women,  many of them through her youngest sister.     It's twelve stories of  women taking control of their own lives.   Every type of emotion is on display as the stories of twelve  very different women  are told.  Each book is inspiring and uplifting, as each women struggles to be what they want to be.    This combination of author and narrator never fails to draw you into their world.   Very much worth listening too. 

 

Great Read

The Year of Discovery Box Set was a great read by ML Hamilton. The Year of Discovery series consists of: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December. These books follow twelve women who are connected by the death of another. I enjoyed reading these books and absolutely loved Kelley Hazen's narrations and how she brought life to the characters.

It's a great journey with amazing women...

I've already listened to all the books in the series in their separate smaller boxes - but if you haven't, don't miss this opportunity to get all 12 stories in one set cause I guarantee you: once you've started you'll want to go on and on and on until the last word in the last book:)

It's a fantastic set of tales, in so many different tones and touching on so many difficult issues that concern modern women: from racial and sexual abuse to home violence to addictions to lethal diseases to women's rights... whatever problem you can think of, you'll probably find it there. But do not feel scared or overwhelmed by the sheer range and the seriousness and heaviness of the issues covered - they are tackled with tact and subtlety and are woven into fantastically written tales, full of strong women you can identify with and their friends and families. It's so difficult for me to choose one particularly close to my heart - each one is so different from the others, all of them unputdownable...

For more of my reflections on individual books, just visit my reviews for each box set: The Winter of Discovery, The Spring of Discovery, The Summer of Discovery, and The Fall of Discovery. But just to sum it up, here's what I wrote in my review for the last of the 3-book sets, The Fall of Discovery:

"It's a wonderful series of tales of women who face so many different problems, but come out of their turmoils stronger, wiser, more powerful in mind... Thank you for the journey, Ms Hamilton, it was a real pleasure to meet all of them:)
Narration by Ms Hazen was wonderful throughout the whole series; so many women got their feelings, anxieties, fears, but also joys and triumphs voiced out thanks to her:) Her interpretations of all the stories were very well done, making the women seem real to us."

And I still maintain that opinion:) and I still enjoy every tale in the series with the same emotional involvement as the first time I met this amazing bunch of women created by Ms Hamilton. So don't wait, just grab the set - you definitely won't regret that decision:)
