About this listen

"Enchanting."—Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author

The first book in the Songbird series from country music star Sara Evans and New York Times bestseller Rachel Hauck!

It begins with a little red envelope . . . the one Jade doesn't want to send. The envelope that invites her mother, Beryl, to her wedding—and opens up more of her past than she cares to deal with. Jade has worked so hard to put her hard-scrabble childhood behind her.

And she's found everything she wanted in the beautiful green hills of Whisper Hollow, Tennessee. A thriving vintage shop all her own. A lovely one-eyed shepherd dog named Roscoe. And Max, the almost-too-good-to-be-true man she plans to marry in just a few weeks. For the first time in her life, her heart feels at home, and she can't wait to step out into their beautiful future.

But can she really have a sweet by and by if she can't come to terms with yesterday?

Lose yourself in the novel that audiences and critics alike are calling . . .

Should come with a content warning

This was a beautiful story of God’s Grace and redemption. The writing felt a little disjointed at times, but I would expect nothing less from a country singer turned debut author. My main criticism is that the book should have come with a content warning.

*SPOILER*

There was a pretty graphic scene depicting a young girl getting an abortion. As someone who is anti abortion I am well aware of what that process can look like, but I don’t seek to hear about details. I am a new mom and found the scene incredibly disturbing, so much so that I had nightmares about it. I wasn’t expecting so much detail as I’ve read other books by Rachel Hauck and have not run across anything else like it. If abortion details are triggering to you, you may want to skip this one.

Narration

I have a lot of audio books in my library and I have to say this is the worst narrator I have ever listened to. I don’t think I can finish this book and certainly won’t be listening to the two other books in the series swing that she is the reader of the them.
