Only God knew why Jillian Slater agreed to return to New Orleans on the news that her father had finally drunk himself to death. It's not like they were close. She hadn't seen him - or her grandmother, the ice queen - in almost 20 years. But when Adella Atwater, the manager of her grandmother's apartment house, called and said her expenses would be paid if she'd fly in for the burial, a free trip to New Orleans was too intriguing to resist.

The second story is better than the first
The author tells a story of people I won't forget. I listened to this story. Although there are religious themes, the truth in this story is how families are formed from strangers and staying together against all obstacles. Beautiful. Bravo!

Brilliant storytelling
I love this book. The shortest of the Tucker series, but brilliantly performed with a heart warming storyline. If you haven't fallen in love with Tucker yet, read this book.

Profound emotional impact
I gave 5 stars to the first book in the series, Tucker's way. now I think this second book would have to be seven or eight stars out of 5. it's truly amazing. I don't think I've ever listened to a book that has such a profound emotional impact. Brilliant writing absolutely brilliant narration. I highly recommend it but I also think you need to listen to Tucker's way first and don't give up if the first few chapters seem difficult. you will never regret this set of stories.

Good, but....
This book IS very good, I read the first book, Tucker’s Way as well and I thoroughly enjoyed it which is why I bought the second book (this book).
Though I knew Miss Ella would die, I had not expected the entire book to chronicle her death.
Life is hard enough to with deal day to day as it is, its why we read books, we need something to take us away from life’s hardships, and though I thoroughly enjoyed the book it was very hard to get through it knowing the ending and enduring pain throughout.
