Nellie has been jilted. Twice. Now, living in Boston with her aunt and uncle, she can't seem to get out from under the stigma of those rejections. Desperate for something to give meaning and purpose to her life, she takes a job as a companion to a rich, elderly lady. But when she meets Louellen McGowen, Nellie comes face to face with the type of angry, hateful woman she will become if she doesn't make some drastic changes in her attitude and outlook on life.

A Beautiful Story, Worth Hearing Again
Reviewed: 04-18-25
I love Anna Huckabee’s books—they’re always full of heart, and Choosing Nellie is no exception. It’s not just a romance—it’s the story of a withdrawn, grumpy older woman slowly coming back to life through the friendship of a tenacious young woman with a troubled past. Their bond is touching, and it’s through this connection that the young woman also finds love—with the older woman’s devoted nephew, who’s deeply moved by the change he sees in his aunt.
I actually requested this audiobook from the author because I loved the book so much—I just wanted to hear it come to life. The narrator was okay—she had expression and read with feeling—but the recording quality wasn’t the best, and her voice sounded younger than I supposed the main female character should be. Maybe with a slightly deeper tone and crisper production, it would draw the listener in more. Still, I can’t wait to hear another one of Anna’s stories!
