Resumen del Editor

Present day. After tragedy plunges her into grief and unresolved anger, Sarah Ashby returns to her childhood home determined to finally follow her long-denied dream of running Old Depot Grocery alongside her mother and grandmother. But when she arrives, her mother, Rosemary, announces to her that the store is closing. Sarah and her grandmother, Glory Ann, make a pact to save the store, but Rosemary has worked her entire life to make sure her daughter never follows in her footsteps. She has her reasons - but she'll certainly never reveal the real one.

1965. Glory Ann confesses to her family that she's pregnant with her deceased fiancé's baby. Pressured into a marriage of convenience with a shopkeeper to preserve the family reputation, Glory Ann vows never to love again. But some promises are not as easily kept as she imagined.

This dual-timeline story from Amanda Cox deftly explores the complexity of a mother-daughter dynamic, the way the secrets we keep shape our lives and the lives of others, and the healing power of telling the truth.

You can count on a happy ending with this author

This is my second book by this author and i do enjoy her stories. They are simple stories about flawed people. Lots of secrets that create problems. I could do without the continuous references to faith and praying. I listen in spite of the religion because they are cute stories. I couldn't have a constant menu of it though, after one of her books I have dive into something deep.

Great listen!

It was so refreshing to hear honest heartfelt love and emotion in this audiobook! I loved it!

At first hard to get into- but once I got to know the characters- I was hooked

Very good story. Give it some time to get into and you will be glad you did

This story really resonated with my wife and me

What wonderful insight into how bad choices can lead to so much heartache that can persist for generations but how the Lord can heal them if we allow him to!

Great story with the truth winning out

I loved this story. I lived the way the author went back in time so you could see the whole picture of the story. I love that truth wins out in the end. I love that she leaves with a happy ending but more so Sara learning who she is and how the truth effects everything.

Excellent new author

This is my first story by this author, and it was so excellent! I felt like I was there in rural Tennessee with the family through the generations at Old Depot Grocery. Lots of great messages and spiritual lessons. And the audio narration was absolutely perfect! I’ll be reading this author again.

Recommend this book

First time reader of Amanda Cox, and was pleasantly impressed by this book. It developed the characters well . Clean book that’s a little deeper than most . I recommend this Author and also enjoyed the reader.

Vivid emotions.

I loved this book. The author “had me” from the beginning. My being an adult farmer’s daughter with memories of life at the edge of a small town, I identified with these women and their vivid emotions. I laughed and cried with them. I definitely recommend this book and the author.

Old Depot so sweet

This is a very sweet, heart warming story. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys southern historical stories with happy ending and a bit if a moral teaching. some references to religion was acceptable even thought I personally am not religious.

Absolutely amazing!!

This story amazing!! The way it is written it keeps you on your toes!! Amazing!!
