About this listen
From the author of The Wishing Tide comes a stunning new novel about two summers, one journal, and the secrets that can break and open our hearts....
Pragmatic, independent Lily St. Claire has never been a beachgoer. But when her late father leaves her a small house on Hideaway Key—one neither her mother nor she knew he owned—she's determined to visit the sleepy spit of land along Florida's Gulf Coast. Expecting a quaint cottage, Lily instead finds a bungalow with peeling shutters and mountains of memorabilia. She also catches a glimpse of the architect who lives down the beach.
But it's the carton of old journals in the front room that she finds most intriguing. The journals were written by her mother's sister, an infamous beauty whose name has long been banned from the St. Claire home. The journals tell a family tale Lily has never heard, of her mother and her aunt as young girls in Tennessee and the secrets that followed them into adulthood. As she reads, Lily gains a new understanding: about her family and about herself. And she begins to open her heart—to this place, these people, and the man next door. But can she ever truly learn to trust, to believe that love is not a trap but a harbor? And is it true that hearts, even broken ones, can be forged anew?

Then one day, she sees an old woman whose grief mirrors her own. Fascinated, she watches the woman leave a letter on a nearby grave. Dovie ignores her conscience and reads the letter—a mother's plea for forgiveness to her dead daughter—and immediately needs to know the rest of the story.

Storyline yes, but UGH…
Give me all the beach themed novels. Every. Single. One! After finishing The Echo Of Old Books I wanted to experience more from Barbara Davis and the storyline of this book does not disappoint. Also, I cringe when I read reviews where the narrator is listed as a reason someone doesn’t enjoy a purchase, yet here I am. 13+ hours of having the most difficult time keeping my attention. Even at 1.1 and 1.2 speed, the gaps between words and lift at the end of words/sentences made it so difficult on the ears. So far, I really like this author and will search out her books. This one may have been better as a page turner than a listener tho.

The narrator is impossible to listen to.
Love this author. The narrator is making it almost impossible to listen. She pauses at the wrong time. She emphasizes the wrong words. I came here to see if it was AI. Cheap and bad AI. Apparently it’s a real person. I’m sorry to speak about this, but it’s awful.
