De: Lisa Wingate

Narrado por: Jason Culp, Bahni Turpin

"A story beautifully told, with richly drawn characters that will...make you want to laugh and cry" from the number one New York Times best-selling author of The Book of Lost Friends and Before We Were Yours.

All her life, Epiphany Salerno has been tossed like a dandelion seed on the wind. Now, at 16, she must move to the low-rent side of Blue Sky Hill and work where she's not wanted: in an upscale home on The Hill.

J. Norman Alvord's daughter has hired a teenager to stay with him in the afternoons. Widowed and suffering from heart trouble, Norman wants to be left alone. But in Epie's presence, Norman discovers a mystery. Deep in his mind lie memories of another house, another life, and a woman who saved him.

As summer comes to Blue Sky Hill, two residents from different worlds will journey through a turbulent past, and find that with an unexpected road trip through sleepy Southern towns comes life-changing friendship...and clues to a family secret hidden for a lifetime.

A sweet, engaging story.

This was a sweet and engaging story. There was mystery, complex characters, and lessons learned. The performances were excellent. Recommend!!!

Beautiful story!

Amazing narration. Couldn’t stop listening. A++ from start to finish! Would recommend over and over

Wonderful

What a wonderful story of an amazing young girl who had no idea she was amazing at all.
It is amazing to hear the story of parents belittling and tearing down children’s self-esteem only to be overcome by a caring outsider. The story of black and white in the south during those years was so sad

Loved

Like Lisa Wingate’s books so much. This one a favorite! Look forward to next listen by this author!!
