Story
It was a bleak November in 2012 when Cari Lea Farver vanished from Omaha, Nebraska. Cari, 37, was a devoted mother, reliable employee, and loyal friend - not the type to shirk responsibilities, abandon her son, and run off on an adventure while her dying father took his last breaths. Yet, the many texts from her phone indicated she had done just that. While Cari's boyfriend, Dave Kroupa, and her supervisor were bewildered by her abrupt disappearance, they accepted the texts at face value. Her mother, Nancy Raney, however, was alarmed and reported Cari missing.

Story
In June 2008, Florida-based victims’ rights attorney Bradley J. Edwards was 32-years-old and had just started his own law firm when a young woman named Courtney Wild came to see him. She told a shocking story of having been sexually coerced at the age of 14 by a wealthy man in Palm Beach named Jeffrey Epstein. Edwards, who had never heard of Epstein, had no idea that this moment would change the course of his life. Over the next 10 years, Edwards devoted himself to bringing Epstein to justice, and came close to losing everything in the process.

Story
In 1974, Alice, a desperate young mother in a gritty Wyoming boomtown, kills her husband and dumps his body where it will never be found, then slips away and starts a new life. But when her new man's ex-wife and two kids start demanding more of him, Alice delivers an ultimatum: fix the problem or lose her forever. With Alice's help, Gerald fixes the problem in an extraordinarily ghastly way...and they live happily ever after...that is, until 2013, almost 40 years later, when somebody finds a dead man's skeleton in a place where Alice thought he'd never be found.

Publisher's Summary
On an ordinary January afternoon, a disturbing revelation about his wife hurls one man into a maelstrom of public humiliation and heartbreak, and eventually on a spree of run-ins with lawyers, judges, therapists, and law enforcement.
Land of July tells the true story of a teacher/student sex scandal that not only shocked an entire school and small suburban community, but made national news. It’s a story filled with countless anecdotes about marriage, trust, infidelity, grief, and the desperate search for hope and family in the face of ruin.
Practically ripped from the daily headlines, Land of July is as salacious as it is sobering. At its best, it’s a cautionary tale that might just inspire an awakening of morality; at its worst, it’s one man’s tumultuous journey to hell...and possibly back.

Thorough Recounting of a Marriage Dissolution Involving Scandal
I wanted to write this review partly because the two earlier ones I read were rather negative on the narrator’s voice. I was able to overlook his passionless tone however because some high school teachers I had (and college professors) were not necessarily warm, in fact some did speak with little emotion. The words expressed much inner pain on the part of the husband though so I did not need to hear added anguish in the performance artist’s voice as well. // Why I chose to listen to this story is because I am a public school teacher by profession so the true story of another teacher can often pique my interest. In this audiobook, one hears the tale unfold from the mid-class call for the husband to report immediately to the principal‘s office (husband and wife both teach in the same high school). I could imagine all the bewilderment he experienced waiting for the door to open for his sudden appointment and then finally realizing his wife had broken the law...and their marriage vows. The ensuing months include these parents living together with their two young children; a non-event which results in an arrest; unfair lies from one parent (according to the other), acquaintances taking sides...in fact, this is not unlike what occurs in many marital breakdowns although there is the added scandal of sex abuse towards two teen students here. The book was well-written from one person’s point of view and might be illuminating to others needing comfort if they are undergoing painful breakups too. It is not a book for everyone of course but it held my interest and eventually, I was able to discover what the court decided and how the writer fared after a few years.

The narrator’s voice destroys this story
The story is not that bad. In fact I would say it could be a decent story however the story cribbed by the narrators monotone voice. I even selected a faster speed (1.5) to give a bit more life to the deadpan voice telling the story. The one complaint on the actual story is that the main character seems to come off as a teenager with angst and a bit of a whiner. Other than that I would give it 2 1/2 stars out of 5.

I can't tell if I liked this book or not.
So, the story itself was interesting enough, even if so what indulgent at times from the author's point. The reason I can't decide on my overall feeling is due to the narrator. I get the feeling that he might be more comfortable narrating community events calendars or public television fundraisers. Not the right narrator for this book.

Needs more scandal
The title promises an interesting read, offering insight into a nightmare situation. It is unfortunate that the contents of the book doesn’t quite live up to the title. The book is littered with the authors attempt at writing songs in order to express his emotion and pain, I found this a waste of space and unnecessary. The book is a giant pity party.
