About this listen

Growing up in Erob, Alabama, Nina Little Bit Barnes Enloe lived in the shadow of her imposing and harsh grandmother, Nina Biggie Barnes Enloe. If she wasn't being bossed around by Biggie, then the task fell to her best friend Win…who did win…at everything.

Bit never seemed to share Win's lifetime supply of “lucky dust.” Perhaps the only thing Bit has ever chosen for herself is her friendship with Avery, the out-of-towner who showed up on the saddest day of her life - unpretentious and decidedly un-Southern - with a funeral casserole in hand. Bit believes she can escape her grandmother’s controlling grip once and for all by moving somewhere where she is the only Nina Enloe listed: New York.

Yet her world is turned upside down when an unexpected loss forces her to leave her new life in the city and return to Erob, where she must face everything - and everyone - she left behind. In the process, Bit discovers her true identity, learns the hard lessons of acceptance and forgiveness, finds herself falling in love in unexpected places, and finds comfort in the secrets of rainy days.

Loved it!

Loved this book so much, I already want to listen to it again. Actually thinking of ordering the hard cover, so I can easily refer back to all of Avery’s wise words. This one will stick with me for a long time.

Southern fiction at its best.

Southern fiction at it’s best. Narration was excellent. Favorite line in the whole book is a reference to “closure.” Perfectly and honestly explained.

Improved to a good story

I was not impressed when I first began the story. I thought the voice was whiney. I stayed with it and ended up liking the book.

Pitch perfect!

Hooton has woven together a tale that is charming, joyful, funny, irreverent, endearing, and full of love, and hope even as the characters navigate tragedy and celebration alike. If you’ve ever been part of a group of friends over the years, this book is for you.
