In a Distant Valley

De: Shannon Bowring

Narrado por: Patricia Shade

For a while, Rose Douglas believed life had given her a break. She was enjoying a steady job at the local clinic; her two young boys, Adam and Brandon, were doing well in school; and their family had found an easy friendship with widower Nate Theroux and his daughter, Sophie. The possibility of something deeper even hung between her and Nate—until the day Tommy Merchant, her ex and the father of her sons, showed up without warning. While Rose knows all too well his erratic and abusive nature, he swears he's clean, and ready to turn over a new leaf.

Tommy isn't the only one who's found his way back to the town that defined him. Lost after a disastrous stint living down south with her father, Angela Muse has returned to Dalton. There she runs into Greg Fortin, the friend who once saved her life when they were children and finally starts to believe there may be someone who understands her in a world that offers more questions than answers.

But secrets are the lifeblood of a small town, and everyone in Dalton soon finds themselves part of a chain of events hurtling towards outcomes beyond their control, where more than one future will be decided. Brimming with compassion and heart, In a Distant Valley is the remarkable conclusion to the story listeners have been following since Shannon Bowring's debut novel, The Road to Dalton.

If you want “Modern Family” of the 90s in Maine you’ll like this story.

This story follows four families interconnected from a small town in Maine. I read all three stories they are meh. Nothing too exciting or thrilling but if you want a basic family story from the 90s go for it.

Now I want to listen to another Dalton book!

This is a fantastic series. It's not for everyone, I imagine, but I loved it.
