The Cottage

By: Gerri Hill

Narrated by: Abby Craden

Jill and Carrie - both married with teenage children - meet one day during Jill's lunch break at a local park. Soon a friendship is forged. A friendship that deepens with each visit.

Jill's husband still lives and breathes the coach's life, a life that leaves him little time to spare for Jill. Left on her own more and more, Jill finds herself searching for the indefinable something that has been missing all her life.

Married to a successful businessman, Carrie Howell retired early from a career in real estate to spend more time with her teenage boys and to pursue her lone passion - painting. She, too, has felt for some time that something is missing from her world.

The Cottage is the story of two women pulled by a force stronger than their marriages, stronger than themselves. The story of Jill and Carrie. Two women. One love.

Omg

This book broke my whole heart in half. I love Gerri Hill! I love her writing. I also adore Abby Craden and her storytelling skills!

Sad but good

I've always enjoy Gerri Hill's book and this one is no different! Story is pretty short, it's a book you can listen in one setting, it's so short that I don't want it to end. It's a book I will go back to listen multiple time for sure.

Wonderfully written and performed

Ah, this well written story touched me so deeply, as I too have experienced the truity of these words. Well done and applause to both Ms. Hill and Ms. Craden. Well done indeed!

this one stings

only complaint is that i wish it were longer. i have a void left inside of me from this beautiful tragic love story.

very good, very sad

the story was wonderful and full of love. i hated rooting for infidelity, but they loved and deserved love, better than they knew.
