Second House from the Corner

De: Sadeqa Johnson

Narrado por: Robin Miles

Felicia Lyons, a stressed-out stay-at-home mom, struggles to sprint ahead of the demands of motherhood while her husband spends long days at the office. Felicia taps, utters mantras, and breathes her way through most situations, but on some days, like when the children won't stop screaming her name or arguing over toy trucks and pretzel sticks, she wonders what it would be like to get in her car and drive away.

Then one evening the telephone rings, and in a split second the harried mother's innocent fantasy becomes a hellish reality. The call pulls her back into a life she'd rather forget. Felicia hasn't been completely honest about her upbringing, and her deception forces her return to the Philadelphia of her childhood, where she must confront the family demons and long-buried secrets she thought she had left behind.

From a phenomenal fresh voice in fiction comes the compelling story of what happens when the dream falls apart. It's the unforgettable tale of love, loss, rediscovery, and the growing pains of marriage.

Skillfully Written!

This novel was skillfully written with its excellent storyline, flashbacks, realism and the ability to have me on the edge of my seat. Oh! How I long to find out what happens next. Thank you!

Great Audible selection!

Sadeqa Johnson is a wonderful storyteller and writer, which is what made Second House from the Corner a great read.

Sadeqa Johnson's attention to well-crafted relatable characters makes her writing shine. I enjoyed listening to this book. Very pleased with the performance of this as an audible selection.

Stick with it!

The story starts out slow, but it gets better. Felicia wasn't the sharpest tool in the box. Using her family's dysfunction to excuse her behavior made sense. Overall, it was a beautifully written story that dragged at times. Sadeqa's writing style is smooth and her use of similes are the best I've read in quite some time. If you can continue reading/listening through the slow parts, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. I highly recommend it!

Couldn't put it down.

I couldn't out the book down until I finished every word in the whole book.
