About this listen

“A sharply plotted, emotionally intense novel of family secrets, fresh starts and community” —Jayne Ann Krentz

She left her hometown following a scandal—but family loyalty is dragging her back…


Despite their strained relationship, when Gia Rossi’s sister, Margot, begs her to come home to Wakefield, Iowa, to help with their ailing mother, Gia knows she has no choice. After her rebellious and at-times-tumultuous teen years, Gia left town with little reason to look back. But she knows Margot’s borne the brunt of their mother’s care and now it’s Gia’s turn to help, even if it means opening old wounds.

As expected, Gia’s homecoming is far from welcome. There’s the Banned Books Club she started after the PTA overzealously slashed the high school reading list, which is right where she left it. But there is also Mr. Hart, her former favorite teacher. The one who was fired after Gia publicly and painfully accused him of sexual misconduct. The one who prompted Gia to leave behind a very conflicted town the minute she turned eighteen. The one person she hoped never to see again.

When Margot leaves town without explanation, Gia sees the cracks in her sister’s “perfect” life for the first time and plans to offer support. But as the town, including members of the book club, takes sides between Gia and Mr. Hart, everything gets harder. Fortunately, she learns that there are people she can depend on. And by standing up for the truth, she finds love and a future in the town she thought had rejected her.

Amazing that books are being banned in the United States. Just another way that we as a citizenry are being manipulated.
What happened to our rights? ??
It’s absolutely sinful .

This book only touched on a small portion of the problem but at least
Brought a problem to light

Loved the story which included almost every emotion. Unfortunately the narrators voice is very unpleasant and almost prevented me from finishing this wonderful book

Wonderful story, but narrators voice was irritating

Had very little to do with banned books. Typical romance novel. I liked the characters and read to the end to find out what would happen.

This book should include trigger warnings for domestic violence, assault, and sexual assault of a minor. I expected a cute story about a banned books club and instead got a pretty dark storyline. Not what I was expecting at all and I wouldn’t have purchased this book if I had known.

Needs a trigger warning
