Well written novel that gave me goosebumps throughout the story! Left me little sad when the story was over. Heartbreaking ti learn what went on at the orphanage. Makes me curious to learn more!
The footnote gave me goosebumps as well.

I have had this Audible for three years now and totally lost the count on how many times I have listened to it. When I need the kick in my but and refreshing pep talk I listen. It gives me the mood boost that I need. It is funny, real and the laughter is healing. I start smiling and laugh and feel great afterwards. I even put on a happy music and dance a little. Trust me it works guys. I recommend it to all women experiencing the change.
My change started when I was 29 and I am not even 50 yet so my advise is to get the Audible and laugh with her. You will feel better. :-)

Very inspiring and eye opening
Reviewed: 03-19-13
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, absolutely. It gets your full attention and makes you see and think about where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Three Feet from Gold?
The fact that the most successful people are the ones that are the most willing to share. That people in the middle are the ones that are full of EGO and do not have time for anyone but themselves.
What does Dan John Miller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
It feels like he is talking to you and telling you his own story. I find it easier to focus and listen to what he has to say.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Three Feet from Gold?
Share my experience and my profit with others, believe in myself, climb safe but climb to the top, keeping the right people and the right media around me, start going through my personal inventory!
Any additional comments?
This audiobook has opened my eyes and I am already planning on listening to it again. I was suffocating my self with to much thinking. It brought my thoughts from negative to possitive and made me see possibilities instead of problems.

In the latest novel from the number-one New York Times best-selling author, four women bound by obligation and opportunity struggle to become a family. With startling tenderness and laugh-out-loud humor, Jennifer Weiner once again takes listeners into the heart of women's lives in an unforgettable, timely tale that interweaves themes of class and entitlement, surrogacy and donorship, the rights of a parent, and the measure of motherhood.

Disapointing
Reviewed: 10-26-11
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
The Winter Sea was different than I had thought when I downloaded my Unabridged version. I don't like the narrator. Especially when she starts to speak Irish with a strong accent so you can't understand a word she is saying.
Well I was disapointed and gave up listening.
Would you ever listen to anything by Susanna Kearsley again?
No
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Not good.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Winter Sea?
Don't know. I gave up listening.
Any additional comments?
No.
