They Call Her Dirty Sally

De: Amy Matayo

Narrado por: Sean Cordry, Dana Dae

For years, the town of Silver Bell, Arkansas has quietly mourned the hospital fire that claimed the lives of nine of its residents—the town doctor, a young expectant mother, and seven infants. So, when journalist Finn Hardwick is assigned the story as part of a national thirtieth anniversary memorial service, he arrives at the town ready to interview its residents, thinking they’ll be ready to share and eager to make headlines. He isn’t prepared for the resistance. Or for what appears to be a collective unwillingness to answer his questions.

Faced with one roadblock after another, Finn enlists the help of Billi Ellis, the young motel receptionist that everyone in the town seems to like. Maybe she can get them to open up to him. Maybe she can help him make sense of everything he keeps uncovering. Especially the unexpected tie this tragedy appears to have to his own life. A tie that leads him directly to the old woman who seems to hold the key to everything. The woman everyone avoids…the woman they call “dirty”…the woman who hasn’t spoken a word to anyone since the day the hospital burned.

Excellent

Truly enjoyed listening to this book. The story, the narrators and the joyous ending. Perfect.

The relatable tendency to accept generational bias as fact

Slow to get started, but takes off and keeps it interesting. Story told from multiple view points and perspectives.

Don't Pass This One Up!!

Great story! This book will touch all of your emotions. Very good in every facet. I will be searching for more from this author.

Very good story

I liked the story of finding out secrets and a little love story thrown in

Generations that carry lies.

Disliked Billie’s voice thought it could be done by a female. With a male name it was confusing

Most Enjoyable

A really good story line and very entertaining. Although I guessed most of the ending , I stayed wth it because I was enjoyong it and hoped it would end the way it did. I will miss the characters.

Really liked the book!

I like the going back and forth in time and the suspense of who the father was.

Dana Dae as narrator was very convincing. she has a lovely voice and the story was compelling.

The Voice actors were fabulous in this production. I wished the female actor has been given more of the story to read, she is really talented. of course the man did a great job as well, but is female voices were parts where I was wishing for the other reader. the Story was awesome, something I found entirely plausible. great ending! redemption. I recommend it

Expected a lot more from a book rated 4.8 stars on Goodreads.

This book was not recommended to me by anyone. I chose it after seeing its high ratings on Goodreads. Maybe I had to high expectations to give it a chance. It was average at best to me.

This is a great book

I really enjoyed this book. It was well written and proves the point of why we should be kind to each other. You never know what someone else is going through and how you could be the difference.
