The Way Back

De: Grace Mitchell

Narrado por: Meg Price, Joshua Macrae

Elena Whitaker had a plan: a family, a future, a life she could trust.

All of it vanished the night she learned the truth about her husband's betrayal.

So she ran—back to her hometown, back to the version of herself she'd forgotten, back to something that didn't hurt to hold.

Three years later, she has found a new rhythm. A small-town clinic she's poured herself into. A quiet home that finally feels like hers.

And a heart that's learning—slowly, carefully—that love doesn't always have to hurt.

Then Matt Reeves returns… carrying the weight of a mother who's slipping away and the regret of every moment he can't rewrite.

Millbrook is small. Memories are loud. And the past has a way of finding the cracks you thought you sealed.

For listeners who crave: heartache that lingers; love that refuses to behave; small-town gravity; the impossible choice between who you were… and who you've become.

Some lives break apart.

Some lives rebuild.

And some cross paths again when the heart is ready.

Great book if you like messy relationships

I really enjoyed this book. the author's writing style. I love that the heroin stood up for herself.

Loved it

This is a really well written story. Strong female lead, lots of character development and depth and realistic timing and telling of the healing of both characters.

It was boring

I didn’t love this, the gut punch was tiny and the drudgery wasn’t.
Matt and her boss gave me a serious case of the ick. And although I loved she cut him out completely, this did not land for me.
