Calling Me Home

A Novel

De: Julie Kibler

Narrado por: Bahni Turpin, Lorna Raver

Eighty-nine-year-old Isabelle McAllister has a big favor to ask her hairdresser, Dorrie. She wants the black single mother to drop everything and drive her from Texas to a funeral in Ohio - tomorrow. Dorrie, fleeing problems of her own and curious about Isabelle’s past, agrees, not knowing it will be a journey that changes both their lives.

Isabelle confesses that, as a teen in 1930s Kentucky, she fell in love with Robert Prewitt, a would-be doctor and the black son of her family’s housekeeper - in a town where blacks weren’t allowed after dark. The tale of their forbidden relationship and its tragic consequences just might help Dorrie find her own way.

Emotional

This book took me through so many emotions. The narration was wonderful. I felt what the characters were feeling.

Wonderful Story!!!

I loved how the book went from Miss Isabelle to Dorrie's point of view. Great story about two people from two very different backgrounds. I love how Miss Isabelle opened up and told Dorrie about her and her younger days and falling in love with Robert. This book really was a great book and tje narrators portrayed the characters perfectly!!!

th best story I've listened to by far.

this is the only book I've reviewed, not usually one to bother with this part of my reading experience. I don't believe I'll ever forget this book. masterfully written, beautifully narrated, an soon to be in hard copy tucked into my shelves of favorites.

Beautiful!!

I loved this book!!!! It drew me in and wouldn’t let me go. I went through a constant range of emotions. It is written so well. Thank you Julie Kibler.

Wonderful story.

Very well done & very well read. I do recommend this book. I cried and cried at the end, but also it gave me hope.
