A Life Unraveled is the story of kindergarten teacher Lily Gallo, who is a happily married mother of three with a perfect life - until the day she is brutally attacked while out for a run.

Lily grew up on a farm and always considered herself resilient. But when the small town’s high school football hero is arrested and convicted for the attack, Lily and her family suffer retaliation from some of the community, enticing Lily to wrap herself in an opioid cloud. When she puts her daughters’ lives in jeopardy, the wake-up call motivates Lily to flush the narcotics and clean up her life. But the clarity she expects is overshadowed by unnerving memory lapses.

As unexplained events become more disturbing, Lily believes that, although her attacker started the destruction, someone else is determined to finish it.

I couldn't put this down. I had to know how it all ended. A normal life, a loving family, and it all comes unglued.

Mystery and suspense rolled into an everyday life

I don’t even like stories like this or at least that’s what I had thought. I only read/listen to topics on health, self help or medical stuff. I had invited Jill on Second Wind the podcast after a previous guest who recommended her. After the interview I felt obliged to give this story a read. Surprise! I loved it! I was locked in and wished it wouldn’t end. Jill creates such a “set” for this story and the reader “see’s” everything as if it were on a movie screen. When I think back to parts of the book, I can actually see the scene and feel what was happening. What a gift, what a talent! Please keep writing!

This book made me want more!

A well written story with an accurate representation of addiction and trauma twisted with suspense. About midway through I started to doubt whether I would enjoy the entire thing but I did!

Surprising

Since it’s included for free I can’t complain. The story starts out interesting which I really like but then it’s a bit tedious. A simple video surveillance could’ve saved this couple so much distress so it feels like a major hole that was never suggested especially with police actively involved. And it gets far fetched but still all in all an ok listen.

Good.. but…

The story starts off with a violent attack of the main character. I thought that at some point the story would lag but it kept me engaged. And I love when stories throw in red herrings.

Enjoyable despite the subject matter

A good listen but it is not suspenseful or a thriller. While you are wondering what is going on with the main character I would not call it a thriller or a mystery. If you are looking for a great psychological thriller or mystery this is not the book for you however it was good. And I love Sophie Amos.

This has to be one of the top five audiobook for the year! The performance was superb! And the story, was gut wrenching at times and the twists had me continually turning pages! With this story, hearing it being read drew me in and connected me to the characters immediately! There where a few times that I had to walk away and not listen because I was so afraid that the author would do something and turn the story in a way that I didn't want to go. But then I would have to know! Absolutely a great story and this one, I recommend listening over reading!

Must listen!

The story was great! Another good book from a Minnesota author! Relatable characters and locations. The plot moved at a good pace with just the right amount of tension. Nice use of foreshadowing clues so when the book ended you though, "Oh! I should've caught that." A really enjoyable read.

The narration wasn't very good. Poor pronunciation of regional Minnesota places and medical terms, and not an accurate read of the author's words. The voice was pleasant. But she wasn't faithful to the text. I like the flexibility of listening while I exercise and clean. But I also like to follow along with the narration when reading before bed. So very often I purchase a book and it's audible version. Unfortunately the narrator didn't follow the authors words. It made it confusing to follow and then word choice seemed redundant at times. When in reality it wasn't. It was the narrator taking the liberty to rearrange or rephrase things. The redundance happened when the narrator fliped back to reading what was actually written and some of the words were used when the narrator was free wheeling the text. She also moved some information around which made following confusing. So I gave up on listening and following and just did one or the other.

My recommendation, skip the audio on this one. But buy the book it's a good read. Support our MN authors. If you want to just listen great. But don't attribute the redundant word choice the the author. That's all the narrator.

Great story, Meh naration

I could not get into this book at all. Sooo slow. So much meaningless details about her kids schedules and no development of the characters. Almost DNF but figured it must get better… but it do not. 1:10

Painful to try to listen
