Second Star to the Right

By: Mary Alice Monroe

Narrated by: Mary Alice Monroe

Sometimes fairy tales do come true…

As a single mother of two, Faye O'Neill has no time for fairy tales. She's not even certain she believes in luck. Practical, smart, and desperate to escape a shadowy past, Faye takes a job at a top advertising firm in London where she hopes she and her children can find a fresh start. When she finds the beautiful two-story flat for rent in a stately old Victorian complete with a neglected but tumbling English garden, she can scarcely believe her good fortune. But it isn't long before Faye realizes not everything in the old home may be as peaceful as it seems.

A strange light begins to appear in her children's rooms at night, and then there's the reclusive elderly tenant, Crazy Wendy, her landlady warned her to steer clear of, the woman who spends her evenings spying on Faye's children from her garret-room window. The woman who believes she is Peter Pan's Wendy. To make matters worse, Faye, who has sworn off men, discovers her downstairs neighbor Jack is a disturbingly handsome professor with a talent for charming women and children alike. Before she knows it, Faye has embarked upon a whole new adventure into a world where anything might be possible, where broken hearts can be healed by a kiss, and where Neverland may not be a place of fables but a forgotten land one can still find if they are only brave enough to follow the second star to the right.

Combining a loved faerie tale with a modern twist. it was a sweet book. I truely enjoyed the idea of the book. It was uncomplicated and easy to understand, perfect for family listening during a long car ride.

The beautiful story telling of Ms. Monroe

I loved the wonderful story. Mary Alice Monroe is a wonderful author and a wonderful story teller. My favorite author by far,!

what a delightful book!

this was so delightfully entertaining! if you like Peter Pan, you will simply love it!

Nice story ..... But

This is a very nice story a little too much of a child fairytale for an adult book
I have to agree with another reviewer saying Mary Alice Monroe should NOT narrate the story
I would definitely get another book by her it was a nice story
but not great narration & a bit too childish. And even adult situations seem wrong being read by mother goose.

Love this book

This is the greatest book I’ve read in years!! I still love Peter Pan and this book just made me weep with happiness and sadness and I STILL BELIEVE!! Thank you Mary Alice Monroe !!
