About this listen

A novel of explosive family secrets, regret, and all the little decisions that shape our lives and make us who we are.

At the age of thirty-nine, Alice Chang suddenly finds herself living in the last place she expected: her mother’s house. But in the face of divorce, eviction, and the recent death of her father, she doesn’t have a choice.

Watching as her mother thrives in a new job and meets younger men at the local gym, Alice struggles, reflecting on her parents’ marriage, her relationship with each of them, as she adjusts to being single again for the first time in twenty years. Then she finds her father’s old journal…and uncovers a shocking family secret that forces her to question everything she thought she knew about love, regret, family, and her own path forward.

As Alice comes to terms with the man her father really was, she must finally decide who she wants to be and what it will take to get there.

Critic reviews

“Narrators Jackie Chung and Keong Sim create an inviting listening experience of a relatable story centered on family secrets and the rippling effects of choices.... The characters' interactions, ranging from comical to heartwarming to contentious, are brought to life with genuine emotion that draws the listener in.... The two narrations complement each other in tone and intensity, creating vivid, lingering characters.” (AudioFile Magazine)

Narration excellent. Story line was ok, if a little improbable. A good audio book has some parts where you just want to keep listening, this one did.

Enjoyable.

Flows so well that you can’t put it down. I would have wished for a more “fairy tale” ending, but that’s just my style.

Enthralling

A widow with a daughter going through a divorce. Online dating. Racism. Hypocrisy. Injustice. Lies and fifty year old secrets come to light. An excellent story.

Enjoyable

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Took a few chapters for me to get into this one, but very glad I stuck with it.

Captivating

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The 2 narrators mad it easy to know which character was speaking. I like learning a bit about how the Korean War affected the psychological personality of those who born in Korea and immigrated to California in the 1960s, early 1970s. I worked with 2 male Korean doctors in the mid seventies. I wish that I had this insight then.

interesting twists

The narration is very good. The characters are realistic and it is easy to sympathize with the challenges of their lives. Simple, yet we'll written story that help my attention and made me think it ended too soon.

Dtory of family life, love and loss

Took me a while to get into the plot, but as the characters developed, I became hooked.

Intriguing storyline

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I felt pulled in by the characters and the story flowed beautifully. I did think the ending was a little abrupt, wanted to know more about what happens with Alice, Derrick and their baby.

Good storu, compelling characters

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I thought this book was great! Such a compelling narrative about five lives! I think the author captured everything beautifully and gave great depth to the characters. I disagree with some reviews about the ending...I think it was well thought out and exactly how it should have been.

I couldn't stop listening!
