Dear Adam

By: Jaclyn Osborn

Narrated by: Brad Rakushin

Warning: This story contains suicidal material that may be sensitive to some listeners.

Things weren't supposed to turn out this way. My story should have been different. Happier. Maybe in another life, it would've been. But, life isn't a fairy tale, and the good guys don't always win.

I didn't mean to cause anyone pain. I just wanted to end my own. The letter, his words - crushed me. It seemed as if there was no other way out. Nothing can change what happened, and nothing could have prepared me for what came after those two words: Dear Adam.

This book tore at my heart.

Dear Adam. And with that Adam's world changed. In this book Adam tells us his story, a story weaved over the passage of time. From friendship, to first love, happiness, pain and loss. A feeling that you can't go on. In the end, it's one of triumph and learning to move on.

Made me she’d a tear

This is such an important subject that many fail to discuss or choose to ignore. That story is so real and reflects in so many ways to so many people. Thank you so much for the power of your words and such a powerful narration

Beautiful Narrative of my Favorite Book

This book is one of my favorite books and Brad did an amazing job bringing these beloved characters to life. It is the best audiobook narration I have heard. I would definitely recommend this audiobook.

Very Powerful & Moving Book. Must Download.

Where does Dear Adam rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of my all-time favorites. Very compelling.

What about Brad Rakushin’s performance did you like?

Brad Rakushin brought the story to life like no other person could. A great performance that will not soon be forgotten.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. I could not stop listening. It is a very important story and I felt compelled to listen to the whole story in one sitting. It really shows that reminds us that it often very difficult to be a gay person in today's society -- and it’s even harder for kids in their teens.

Any additional comments?

Heartbreaking story, full of important life lessons. Highly recommend 5+ stars.

A story I will never forget!
