Publisher's summary

Life’s biggest dilemmas can provide its sweetest rewards

Anna McNichol knows how to take charge. Raised by a single mother, she’s worked to ensure her three children have every advantage she didn’t. And while her marriage has its problems, she values commitment and believes in "till death do us part." Now an empty nester, she’s at the peak of her career and ready to seize the opportunity to focus on her future.

But life can change in an instant, and when her husband dies suddenly, Anna’s carefully constructed world falls apart. The mysterious young woman at the memorial service confirms her husband had been keeping secrets, and Anna is determined to get to the truth.

For once, she doesn’t have the answers. Her kids are struggling with their grief, her mother’s health is in decline and Anna needs closure. Faced with one challenge after another, she finds support from an unexpected source. And as she puts her life back together, Anna realizes the McNichols may not be perfect but they’ll always be family, and family is forever.

Don't miss Robyn Carr's next uplifting novel, The Friendship Club, where four women come together at a tumultuous time in their lives, forging an unbreakable bond that will leave them all forever changed—available January 2024!

Great story!!

I loved the story! Never a dull moment! And Thérèse Plummer is the best narrator ever I’m pretty sure she could make a boring story interesting so putting her together with Robyn Carr my favorite author always makes for a great read!!! This book definitely kept me on my toes! Very fast paced!

I’ve read them all!

I have read everyone of Robyn Carr’s Books and have enjoyed every one. Her stories are AMAZING. They make you feel like you’re right there in whatever the setting is and I cry right along with the characters.

Enjoying the story.

Love the stories and the narrator is amazing. One thing that irritates me is all of the he said and she said. You know who is speaking with the first one. Other than that love it.

A Family

I enjoyed this story about a very strong woman and her family. I didn't like the husband Chad. I enjoyed listening to this story because it reminded me how important family is. This story was so easy to listen to and very entertaining. I recommend that people read it and remember to value their own wacky families.

Relatable

I was in so many similar situations with similar help so could not fault the reality at all. It’s been 25 years since my husband’s death so I’d love to compare the evolution of our two families. Well done!
