Story
From the best-selling author of Before We Were Yours comes a new historical novel: the dramatic story of three young women searching for family amid the destruction of the post-Civil War South, and of a modern-day teacher who learns of their story and its vital connection to her students’ lives. Best-selling author Lisa Wingate brings to life startling stories from actual "Lost Friends" advertisements that appeared in Southern newspapers after the Civil War, as newly freed slaves desperately searched for loved ones who had been sold away.

Paul is every man and every woman. He is HUMAN
Though LGBT voice isn't my usual choice of genre as I sometimes find the narrator protagonist unrelatable to my world, Venice and NPH were irresistible even to the resistant! I'd have given it a solid 5 except for the mispronunciation of Italian words. When Paul did it I thought it was an intentional device but when the Venezians (not venetians) started mispronouncing words I got distracted thinking "seriously!?! You write about Venice and include it in the title then fail to consult an Italian speaker on pronunciation of simple words such as "chiesa"?" (hard k folks, not ch like our church). I felt badly for the author who truly knows and captures the mood of Venice and his work gets a subtle notch by someone editing in production. Ok. So I suppose you can see why I see Paul in me and in everyone. Bravo to Rowley! I almost gave him a 5 anyway because his capture of the dogs in Venice and other Italian cities. Tourists homesick for their fur babies at home coo over the manifest dogs abroad and they look over their shoulders with a distinctly French disdain. "Ugghh- Americani!" And trot off. Brilliant short story. The case for truth in anthropomorphism! What a fin listen. (If this gets reproduced as a 25th anniversary edition please please fix the mispronounced words).

I only wish the story was longer!
I adore Neil Patrick Harris, so naturally upon seeing his name as the narrator, I instantly downloaded this book! I wasn't disappointed! If you want a heart warming short read, listen to this!

Love it!
Neil Patrick Harris should read all of my books for me! I love the way he “acts” out the story. He gives the words so much life! As for the story itself: fantastic! From start to finish it had everything in such a short time.

About as Italian as Little Caesars
Neil Patrick Harris's voice is wasted. The growth of Paul is non-existent. Won't read again.

Time alone well spent
Didn’t know What to expect, having been to Venice and recently losing my dog to old age I tried for some duel nostalgia. I got that and so much more from this book. It’s a good look into being comfortable with yourself. Performance was excellent felt like a 20 min listen Well spent lunchtime . Thank you !
