Life's That Way

By: Jim Beaver

Narrated by: Jim Beaver

Actor Jim Beaver (Supernatural, Deadwood, Justified) and his wife Cecily Adams (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Moogie) were at the peaks of their careers and happily raising a beautiful two-year old daughter, Madeline. Then tragedy struck, not once, but twice. What followed was laid down by Jim in a moving, poignant, and uplifting journal of the following year, a year filled with heartbreak as well as enormous gifts and invaluable lessons, not just for Jim and his family but for listeners who traveled along with him on his journey.

raw and heartfelt, highly recommend

I loved this book! Jim Beaver gives such a raw honest look into his life and heart. It helped me understand and feel better about some of my own recent emotional struggles. I was a fan prior to reading, even more so now. Sadness, pain, tenderness, hope, miracles, humor, and LOVE and hearing him retell those moments himself was so powerful. Excellent.

I cried, I laughed, I couldn’t put it down.

Thank you Mr. Beaver for baring your heart and soul sharing your love and loss. You transparency is heart warming and highly appreciated. Your story as well as your voice in telling your story made it so real and riveting. You held my attention like no other. My brother had a similar experience with his wife who suffer Alzheimer’s and plans to write a book about his experience as well. I intend to share your story with him. God continue to bless you and your sweet daughter in all you do!

worth it

I really struggled to finish this, not because of bad writing or a bad performance, as both were spectacular. It was such a devastating story. Following along in his heartbreak and path through it had me crying along with him. But also smiling, laughing at times, and sharing in his joy for his daughter. This was real. Thanks to Jim Beaver for sharing his story, it touched my heart.

I give Jim much credit for telling his experience.

I've been widowed twice and identified with many of the struggles Jim faced. 😪Bless you.

This book came at a time when I needed it most!

This was such a beautiful story. I decided to listen to this book at a time when I needed it most. Just very recently I lost someone that I loved and listening to Jim’s words and what he went through made me feel less alone and helped me with l grieving the loss of my friend. Comforting me at a time when things were difficult. So thanks Jim for sharing your story so that others like me can feel less alone.

Fantastic

While Audible needs work on where to split the tracks, this was a wonderful book to listen to. To take such personal moments in his life and to share them with complete strangers, I thank Jim Beaver.

Raw. Honest. Articulate. Above all, beautiful.

I've never been a fan of audio books. The robotic-like narrators irk me. Especially when they attempt to read with emotion. It's simply... artificial. I wish more authors would narrate their own books. It's a completely different experience. I love red it!
