Always with You

By: Andrea Hurst

Narrated by: Alexandra Haag

1977 is a glorious time to be alive in the beautiful wine country of Northern California, and Cathy has everything she thought she wanted - from a thriving café to loyal friends.

Since the devastating failure of her short-lived marriage, Cathy has buried herself in her work and kept men at arm's length. But when an old high school friend, Pam, brings her family for a short stay, Cathy's stone walls begin to crumble when she meets Jamie. Jamie, whose compassion and warmth slowly break down her defenses. Jamie, whose devotion to his four-year-old daughter melts Cathy's heart and makes her desperate for a family of her own. Jamie - who is married to Pam.

A profound love that transcends time and place is impossible to resist. But is love more important than friendship? Are loyalty and fidelity an anchor or a chain? In the end, it's all about choices - tough ones that can break hearts. Now Cathy must make the most difficult choice of her life.

A Window Into The Late ‘70’s in NorCal

Figurative descriptions carry the reader throughout Sonoma County on a delicious love affair. Love doesn’t always come when we want it.

Love this author/book

I''m a huge fan of Andrea Hurst and I loved this book! The narrator did a great job telling this story and made me feel like I was a part of the story. So many parts of this book made me smile.

I don't recommend

I found the main character unsympathetic. She allowed an old "friend's " family to move into her home for awhile. It turned out she didn't like her old friend much but the same could not be said for her family. I listened to the whole book but can't say I really enjoyed it. The reader did a fine job but felt the material. The end tried to justify the middle, but even that seemed lacking to me.
