Stay

De: Catherine Ryan Hyde

Narrado por: Nick Podehl

An unforgettable novel about the power of friendship and kindness by the New York Times bestselling author of Pay It Forward.

In the summer of 1969, 14-year-old Lucas Painter carries a huge weight on his shoulders. His brother is fighting in Vietnam. His embattled parents are locked in a never-ending war. And his best friend, Connor, is struggling with his own family issues. To find relief from the chaos, Lucas takes long, meandering walks, and one day he veers into the woods.

There he discovers an isolated cabin and two huge dogs. Frightened, he runs. And the dogs run with him. Lucas finds unusual peace in running with the dogs, and eventually he meets their owner, Zoe Dinsmore. Closed off and haunted by a tragic past, Zoe has given up. She doesn’t want to be saved. She wants out. But Lucas doesn’t want her to go, and he sees an opportunity to bring more than one friend back into the light. It’s either the best or worst idea he’s ever had, but Lucas isn’t giving up on Zoe or Connor.

Their unexpected connection might be the saving grace that Zoe thought she’d lost, that Connor needs, and that Lucas has been running toward.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Delivering this coming-of-age audiobook about friendship, healing, and love, narrator Nick Podehl brings many fascinating characters to life." (AudioFile)

“Charting Lucas’ journey from a sheltered teenager to a worldly young adult, Hyde (Have You Seen Luis Velez?, 2019) brings signature compassion to her characters and highlights the relationships that allow us to feel a deeper sense of connection to the world around us. Fans of Hyde’s previous novels and those who enjoyed Meg Donohue’s You, Me, and the Sea (2019) will adore this ode to unlikely friends.” (Booklist)

A Reader's Comments

The topic if suicide is very important to talk about, specifically the reasons not to do it. This novel does an amazing job at helping readers to see why suicide is not the answer.

Great book!

Hyde never disappoints. Good clean story lines, always with an emotional pull that tugs at the heart. Real stories one can relate to!

Great story

Great story and I loved the ending. Couldn’t stop listening once I started. Zoe was such a great character to follow through the story.

Heart warming❤️

Sometimes we believe we know what others perceive about who we are but that’s not always the case. Communicate how you feel
and let others learn from you. The book is about friendship and family in small town.

Surprisingly excellent!

Bought this book on a 2 for 1 sale. Just looking for something different. One of my favorites in a long time.
