Glory Road

De: Lauren K. Denton

Narrado por: Devon O'day

As three generations of women navigate the uncertain paths of their hearts and futures, one summer promises to bring change—whether they’re ready for it or not.

At thirty-eight, garden shop owner Jessie McBride thinks her chances for romance are years behind her and, after her failed marriage, she’s fine with that. She lives contentedly with her fiery mother and her quiet, headstrong daughter. But the unexpected arrival of two men on Glory Road make her question if she’s really happy with the status quo.

Handsome, wealthy Sumner Tate asks her to arrange flowers for his daughter’s wedding, and Jessie finds herself drawn to his continued attention. Ben Bradley, her lingering what-could-have-been from her high school days who’s known her better than anyone and whom she hasn’t seen in years, moves back to the red dirt road. Jessie finds her heart being pulled in directions she never expected.

Meanwhile, Jessie’s fourteen-year-old daughter, Evan, is approaching the start of high school and trying to navigate a new world of identity and emotions—particularly as they relate to the cute new guy who’s moved in just down the road. At the same time, Jessie’s mother, Gus, increasingly finds herself forgetful and faces a potentially frightening future.

For these three strong Southern women, the roots they’ve planted on Glory Road will give life to the adventures waiting just around the curve.

Easy on the heart

This was such an easy listen, but not in a brainless way; in a peaceful way. Being from Alabama myself, the smooth Southern of the narrator was soothing. I don’t listen to a book to accumulate more stress in my life, I listen to relax and enjoy. This was a book of kindness, and sweet relationships, with a little angst thrown in there for a good story. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Comfortable, easy listening.

Enjoyed this story with my daughter on a drive to KC. Added the app to my phone when we got home to catch the last few chapters. Very good!

Enjoyed the story but not the narration

The narrator spoke too fast for a Southerner and did not allow enough pauses. She also didn’t vary her voice much between characters. I got used to it, but the rapid speech pattern detracted from a good story that didn’t include cussing or sex scenes.

love it

I really enjoyed the love of the characters and the story was really well written. Thank you for a good clean story

Wonderful!

This story spoke to my soul. I never wanted it to end. I loved the characters and wished I could be in their world.
