About this listen

In this moving, insightful new novel, acclaimed author Cathy Lamb delves into the heart of going home again, the challenge of facing loss - and the freedom of finally letting go.…

For decades, the women in Meggie O’Rourke’s family have run Lace, Satin, and Baubles, a lingerie business that specializes in creations as exquisitely pretty as they are practical. The dynamic in Meggie’s family, however, is perpetually dysfunctional. In fact, if Meggie weren’t being summoned back to Portland, Oregon, by her grandmother, she’d be inclined to stay away all together. Since her husband’s death a year ago, Meggie’s emotions have been in constant flux, and so has her career as a documentary filmmaker. Finding ways to keep the family business afloat - and dealing with her squabbling sister and cousin - will at least give her a temporary focus. To draw customers to their Web site, Meggie decides to interview relatives and employees about their first bras and favorite lingerie. She envisions something flip and funny, but the confessions that emerge are unexpectedly poignant. There are stories of first loves and aching regrets, passionate mistakes and surprising rendezvous. And as the revelations illuminate her family’s past, Meggie begins to find her own way forward.

With warmth and unflinching humor, If You Could See What I See explores the tender truths we keep close - and what can happen when we find the courage to bare them to the world.

Amazing book

I usually like Cathy Lamb's books but this one misses on many levels.
Most of the characters sound either 4 or 14 years old. How such infantile behavior can be running a corporation is beyond me.
Then add in nightmares told in graphic detail, histories that are horrific and constantly reiterating past bad experiences and I just gave up. I was fast forwarding to the next chapter way too often.

Fast Forward on this one.

So strange of a story. Went on and on. Really like a soap opera! Only parts were ok. It’s totally a simple soap opera.
At least there were no f- bombs.
But her constantly talking to herself about the guy’s body is old. She did that in her other book I read. Like she’s a sex fiend. I don’t need to know that she’s thinking sexual thoughts every time she sees the guy.
At least there’s no heavy steamy bed scenes! Thank you

Long and stupid but some parts good

The story line was light fluff. A girl story. Finished the book but far too much emphasis on sexuality, though not descriptive sex. Too many curse words also. This book centered around everyone's sex life. Not interesting to me.

okay, but not great

What a journey with the incredible O’Rourke family. I was totally engrossed in this book. The narrator was excellent also. Cathy Lamb is an exceptional writer. I say this is a wonderful book to listen to

Did not like the sound of the narrators voice in 2 of the characters. Tory or Kalaine. Very annoying. Also did not enjoy any of the parts about Meggie's dreams. Over all not one of my favorite books by Cathy Lamb.

Do not like RATS, or high pitched voices.
