Bitter Sweet

By: LaVyrle Spencer

Narrated by: Emily Sutton-Smith

Shattered by the loss of her husband, Maggie struggled each day to put her grief behind her. To be there for her teenaged daughter. And to face life again. When she returned to her Wisconsin hometown, she never expected to feel a spark of longing for her old high school sweetheart.

Eric's marriage to a career-driven woman had left him childless and unhappy - he knew there had to be more to life than always wanting what you couldn't have. Seeing Maggie again filled him with hope. Maybe the answer to his dreams had just come to town.

Their memory of young love blossomed into an affair that would shake both of their lives - and would challenge everything they believed about loving each other. Could they follow a dream from the past? Or had they missed the chance of a lifetime?

Beautiful story

I love the location of Door County WI, and the simplicity of a time before cell phones and computers. Bittersweet is the perfect title, and the characters seemed very real to me. Good outweighs bad, as in real life.

Right In The Feels

As always, LaVyrle Spencer writes so down to earth and realistically, I can imagine every scene and nuance of the story perfectly. This story could be a story that happens to anyone and that’s what makes it so compelling and wonderful.

great family story

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Spencer paints beautiful images

Listening to this book was a true gift The author is not a word smith,but rather a WORD CRAFTER. I could smell the mold in the Harding House the first time. Only one criticism- the book was a tad too long.

Touching

I really enjoyed this book- I found it very touching and filled with bitter sweet moments!
