About this listen

In this uplifting story about friendship, love, and growth, one woman must untangle herself from a past that’s holding her back in order to move forward into the life that will set her free.

Penelope Auberge is at her breaking point. With an overbearing mother, a married boyfriend, and a boss who gives Pen’s high-profile finance clients to male colleagues, it feels like nothing she’s accomplished in her thirty-two years belongs to her.

Determined to build a life entirely her own, Pen moves from Minnesota to Tennessee to open a solo financial business. There, she meets siblings Deanna and Grant, who attempt to coax Pen out of her socially anxious shell. Hesitant to open up so she doesn’t get hurt (again), Pen is slow to develop a friendship with Deanna, and she’s determined to ignore her feelings for Grant, which is difficult given she’s joined his cycling group and a clear something begins blossoming between them.

Pen’s path in Nashville appears to be smoothing out, but she soon learns that packing up her past isn’t quite that easy. If she wants to start fresh, she’ll have to decide what she really wants—even if that means riding away from her old life for good.

This book is for those who love Jodi Picoult’s mix of romance, reality, and tragedy, which is, I believe, life itself. I loved the story, it’s relatable for anyone, but I think especially for those of us who find ourself torn between our personal and professional self, and all the ways life weaves in and out of those things. It was enchanting.

This was such a great story. The author developed such riveting characters. I fell in love with most of them. I laughed, cried, pondered life's purpose, and relived fond memories of some of Nashville's locations. I enjoyed Pen's journey and evolution.

I can't wait to see what she writes next.
