Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view.

Publisher's summary
A Revealing and Intimate Story of What a Mother Will - and Will Not - Do for Her Daughters
What kind of women do daughters become when their fathers are missing and their mothers can't love them? How do they find love and ways to love themselves?
Nearly three decades of secrets lie between Lola Ashby and the two girls she reluctantly raised. Now, prompted by the one father figure she respects, older daughter Frankie agrees to drive from Portland to visit her ailing mother, who abandoned the girls when they were in high school. When younger daughter Callie announces to Frankie that she's moving her fashion-model career to Los Angeles from the East Coast, Frankie badgers her sister into meeting up in the Idaho panhandle for a family reunion to dilute the impact of their mother's indifference.
However, on Frankie's first night on the road, the trip gets more complicated when a well-dressed elderly woman at a rest stop dumps a young boy in her lap with a request to take him on to Montana. And Callie's exit from Pittsburgh is fraught with its own shady and violent difficulties. Meanwhile Lola strengthens her resolve to keep the past and its secrets where they belong.

Georgann Rea didn't bake cookies or go to PTA meetings; she wore a mink coat and always had a lit Dunhill plugged into her cigarette holder. She went through men like Kleenex, and didn't like dogs or children. Georgann had the ice queen beauty of a Hitchcock heroine and the cold heart to match.

Great story but BORING narration
When I saw the author was the narrator, I thought great, who better to set the intended tone? Unfortunately, there was really no tone, except monotone. I thought the story was great but the narration was not at all engaging. If I would have known, I would have read it, instead of listening.

Storyline wasn't bad but narration was hard
I wanted to like this story but it was hard to listen too. Narration was clear and concise but difficult to keep up with who was talking since the narration had no difference in inflection or emotion.

Excellent
I randomly selected this title and had no idea what to expect. I could feel the emotion of the author's thoughts and words. Her voice was soothing. I highly recommend.
