The Ones We Keep

De: Bobbie Jean Huff

Narrado por: Hillary Huber

You can’t undo the past. But can you live as if it never happened?

A quiet lakeside resort in Vermont seems like the perfect summer getaway for Olivia and Harry Somerville and their three young boys. But in a single moment, their idyllic family retreat becomes a mother’s worst nightmare. Returning from a solo hike one afternoon, Olivia learns from a passing stranger that one of her sons has drowned—but not which one.

In that moment, Olivia makes a panicked decision that will change her family forever.

If she never knows which son has drowned, can Olivia convince herself that none of them have? By shielding herself from reality, can she continue to live in a world where all three boys are still alive?

An emotional and heartfelt meditation on the nature of loss, the gift of recovery, and the bonds of love, The Ones We Keep tells the story of one family as they learn to face their grief and fight for hope.

Powerfully emotional

Lovely, emotional story. Elegantly written and the narration was perfect! One of my top 5 books ever!

Waiting for Olivia to do the right thing

It was hard to believe, as a mother myself, how Olivia did what she did. Directly after the accident, being in shock, I get ppl do unexpected things. But she didn’t have to stay gone.
Also, I would have liked more after the book ended about how things turned out.
Sequel please! 😁

Didn’t hold my attention

This book didn’t hold my attention and at times I was wondering if I was listening to the same story. The narrator has a bit of a nasal quality which was also hard to listen to
