About this listen

An inheritance forces three estranged sisters to face past hurts and painful memories in a heartfelt novel about family and resilience by the author of Happy Is On Hiatus.

When the Butler sisters learn they’ve inherited their beloved grandma Betty’s beach house in South Carolina, they have mixed emotions. To put it mildly.

Successful Lana seems to have it all. Nobody needs to know that her marriage and finances are falling apart. For her there’s no other option but to sell the beach house. Overburdened Yvonne already has priorities—including being her mother’s sole caretaker. Her advice: put it on the market and move on. Then there’s sentimental Tami. She can’t let her sisters just unload their past without at least one last trip to the Sea Islands.

They don’t have a choice. If they’re to collect, they must reunite and renovate their grandma’s bequest.

During a life-changing month on the shore, the Butler sisters not only uncover family secrets but start to repair their broken bond through personal revelations and a newfound desire to keep their family legacy alive. It’s not going to be easy, but it’s a beautiful start.

Sisters

Can relate to having sisters that sometimes don’t get along and have very different personalities.

A good story overall

Good story, and I’d love to hear more from this author. However, the narrator kept throwing me off with the accents used. The attempts at Boston and Southern accents were so off putting and distracting. Yvonne sounded more like a cross between a NY mob boss and a housewife from Long Island than a Black woman from Boston. Other than that, I would recommend if you can get past it.

Interesting story

The story was interesting, It started off slow and had a lot of words in it. This was a different type of story for me. I enjoyed the story overall. My favorite character was Tammy because she was the underdog and had the family’s best interest at heart. I would recommend this book to others to listen to. I enjoyed the performance of the reader.

Family

Talk about can’t live with them. Can’t live without them family. The storyline was very realistic on the sisters and their relationship very realistic. I saw a lot of life in the story. Storyline was very good definitely would recommend the only thing I have to say coming from Massachusetts. The New England accent eek. Lol

I am one of three girls

I am one of three daughters, and this story hit all the drama right. I laughed, and pondered about our own lives as I read this book.
