About this listen

An achingly romantic novel about chance meetings, buried secrets, and the multiple facets of love and family bonds by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kerry Lonsdale.

Raised by her fiercely passionate and free-spirited grandmother, Julia Hope has never gone without love. But as she tends to her only living relative during her final days, Julia struggles to overcome her fear of being alone.

A thousand miles away, Matt Gatlin has managed to avoid the coldhearted grandmother with whom he once lived. But after twelve years of her being blessedly out of sight, she needs him. His resentments still raw, Matt packs up his car and reluctantly heads to California to confront a bitter past he thought was long gone.

Over the next six days, Julia’s and Matt’s fates intersect. An old diary exposes the tragedy of a long-lost love. A history of secrets in two families comes to light. And on a lonely back road, Matt picks up an unusual yet captivating hitchhiker with a secret of her own.

For Julia and Matt, something heartbreaking and heartwarming, mysterious and beautiful, will touch their lives—with neither of them realizing that maybe they’re destined for each other.

It was mystical and mysterious yet believable and real. Loved this story. It would make a great movie!

There was nothing that I could dislike. The ending tied up all strands neatly and emotionally satisfyingly.

The way the life of one could cross over another.

I liked the most the way love finds itself without knowing what's ahead. Its genuine love, not forced.

A Magical love story over generations.

This book takes you over several decades of relationships, between friends, family and lovers. the twists and turns that happen as we go along this journey with the beloved characters keep you guessing on how it will end. I don't want to post spoilers, but the ending is perfect, those that were lost are now surrounded by love.

Not up to her usual abilities

Uggggg! I am a HUGE Kerry Lonsdale fan and always look forward to each summer with her new releases but this was painful to listen to. It was too predictable and not a good story. Very disappointed but hope next summer will be more like her others. Still a fan though of this author!
