About this listen

Frances "Khaki" Mason has it all: a thriving interior design career, a loving husband and son, homes in North Carolina and Manhattan - everything except the second child she has always wanted. Jodi, her husband's 19-year-old cousin, is fresh out of rehab, pregnant, and alone. Although the two women couldn't seem more different, they forge a lifelong connection as Khaki reaches out to Jodi, encouraging her to have her baby. But as Jodi struggles to be the mother she knows her daughter deserves, she will ask Khaki the ultimate favor....

I hope this becomes a series!

The story is beautiful. The writing is great and the characters are detailed and so likable. Though I enjoyed them in the beginning, will admit, that there are a few too many similes that they became annoying.
I will miss these characters and certainly hope there has been some consideration to turn this book into a series, I’d love to know what happens next for them.

Love Southern Fiction

I enjoyed this book and understand everything she is talking about. I live only about 30 minutes from Kinston so, all the restaurants, etc are familiar. I did however, get really tired of all the comparisons. Traveling with a tiny baby is like clearing brush for a deer stand, his hair was whiter than the baby lambs’s on the farm, it was a perfect moment like finishing a lego pirate ship, ... even at such a young age you and Alex had taken to one another like crabs to sand. A few of such makes a book fun but, there were just too many.

The story was intriguing and intertwined with suck live & kindness in the most diffi& emotional situations.

The variety of voices & the accents perfect. I was drawn to my own memories of family & community; it was very touching.

Southern Women's Fiction at its very best!

Easy to listen for hours, with beautiful flowing words and descriptive language, I could picture myself in the farms of North Carolina or city streets of Manhattan. It has just enough drama to keep the book interesting and enough happiness to make you smile for days. I highly recommend this book!

A Sweet Summer Read

I usually chose more complex books. I decided that the world is complicated plentiful. I am writing this as Covid-19 is on the rise and the US has had enough of police brutality against the black community. During the day, I am supporting #BLM by writing to the officials who can make the transformations that should have been brought about since infinitely. At night I must unplug and listen to an uncomplicated chick lite book. This story was soft and gentle. It was just what I needed—A happy ending. 😌

Great southern novel!

Best southern euphemisms. Made me laugh out loud. very good story and characters to care about. I live in Carolinas and she has the culture down pat.
