A Gripping, Emotional Rollercoaster You'll Devour in One Sitting

By: Angela Marsons

Narrated by: Alison Campbell

Kit Mason has lived a life of unimaginable pain. An ex-prostitute, she has fled the clutches of an abusive pimp and now finds herself living hand to mouth in a new city, without anyone to help her.

Frances Thornton seems to be living the perfect life. A lawyer from a privileged background, her perfect façade hides the painful secrets that still haunt her.

Brought together by their attempts to conquer their addictions in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, the two women strike up an unlikely friendship.

But can they find strength in each other - or will the demons of their past catch up with them?

Very realistic

I found the characters to be very well-developed. They battle with alcoholism in a way that is realistic and overall it was an entertaining book

So surprised

I loved this book! It's not my normal genre of murder mysteries but I was in between books and this author is one of my faves. I spent the credit and I'm so glad I did. This book is about 2 women from opposite sides of the tracks but have a common bond that seals their friendship. I didn't want to stop listening! The narrator was excellent also!

A Great Read

I enjoyed the book! I thought the narrator was very good and told the story very well. This is not a Kim Stone murder mystery. But the bewilderment of daughters who are neglected emotionally, who cannot understand why their efforts to be loved are ignored by their mothers and what befalls them is authentic. Mother’s boyfriend who rapes and teen aged pregnancy do occur. Teen prostitution happens. How two women, one poor, one rich come together in an AA situation and grow together is poignant. The Forgotten Woman was a very satisfactory read!

Magical

Angela Marsons is a genius! This book is work the credit. It is raw and beautiful

I'm hooked

I now can't get enough of Angela Marsons but will have to wait for more! I only they I had not survived her sooner. I went with the"name brand" authors who are great but Ms Marsons depth and emotional realism are not comparable. Alison Campbell is just as good so I will pass the time waiting by listening to more books she narrates.
