This story was so good that I didn’t want it to end. It was beautiful and had some really great life lessons, but truly the narrator brought this book to life. Kudos to the narrator and author! Also, I think the book was better than the movie.

Beautiful Story!

Had me hooked from the first chapter. I could almost see, hear, smell, and taste each experience as the story unfolds. Thank you. I am an avid (now blind) reader. I love when a story gives you just enough details to image being part of the story, while at the same time not over saturating with minutia. Couldn’t wait to listen to more of your stories.

Wonderful story, wonderful storyteller.

Listened to the book after watching the movie adaptation and I must say the book is even better. The story reminds us all that it is never to late in life to make a change. Or go on an adventure. That it’s ok not to look back or fall into old routines and behaviors. I loved listening to the narrator as she made me feel right there in the moment. I recommend to all.

Good Great Outstanding

I was thoroughly entertained being a woman of a certain age I totally understood what the main character was going through although I don’t have children I can sympathize. What captivated me was that she had desire in your heart and soul as she longed for adventure. I guess I’d recommend this to anyone who is afraid to take that first step you have to walk out on fear because fear is only inside your head there’s a whole world out there to live and our main character decided she wanted to live it.
