Publisher's summary

Curry James knows how to cope with being left alone.

Still living in the same white farmhouse where she grew up, Curry watched those closest to her leave - her parents by tragic death, her husband to war, and her best friend, Tom, who walked away because he couldn't deal with being left alive.

Then one day, without warning, Tom returns. Curry appears as down to earth as she ever was, but her survival has come at a cost, and now it's up to Tom to help Curry reopen her heart to life's joy.

Speed up the audio

This book reading is way to slow. Make sure to speed up the audio it helps.

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!

Wow what a beautifully written book!! This book encompasses so much. Though it was released originally in 1984 the story easily still be current today just by substituting Vietnam War for Afghanistan... the bonds of friendship, love of family, perils of war, pstd, loyalty, survivors guilt, forgiveness and true love all still apply.

The narration was too slow, however I set the speed at 1.2 and enjoyed every chapter!

Highly recommend!!

Wonderful

The narration was a bit difficult at the beginning but I sped it up and that helped.
The story was long but the depth of characters is wonderful. I laughed so hard and cried. Totally enjoyed this book and hope the others are as good.

A Really Great Read

After reading the somewhat dubious reviews, I wasn't sure whether or not I would enjoy the story. However, I decided to go ahead and read it. I will forever be glad that I did.

I am of the same generation as Tom, Curry and Huck, Sr. so this story was true to the era it represents. I found it a wonderful Romance, one in which I could truly relate. I give it Five stars.

Worth a try

I liked the story. It was unique, keeping my interest. The narration was so slow I had to speed it up by +1.25 and her voice took some getting used to. After about half the book, i realized some of the verbiage was just the characters' thoughts, not talking. A bit frustrating. Since it was included in my Audible subscription, and I'm an audiobook addict, I'd say it was worth a try for free. But if i had paid for it, i may have requested a refund. Hope this helps you decide.

enjoyed

Really enjoyed this story - well-written characters, & interesting relationships. I love this narrator though for some reason, I have to increase the narration speed for all the books she reads - this one I increased to 1.25.
