About this listen

The past shapes us all. But what happens when it hides a secret that changes everything?

In 1964, Maggie wakes to find herself in a mental asylum, with no idea who she is or how she got there. Remnants of memories swirl in her mind - a familiar song, a storm, a moment of violence. Slowly, she begins to piece together the past and the events which brought her to this point.

In the present day, Jonathan is grieving after the loss of his father. A cold, distant man, he was not easy to love, but at least while he lived there was hope for reconciliation. Then a detective turns up on Jonathan's doorstep to question him about crimes he believes Jonathan's father may have committed long ago...

As the two stories interweave, the devastating truth long kept hidden must emerge, and both Maggie and Jonathan are forced to come to terms with the consequences of the shocking and tragic events of over forty years ago.©2013 Susan Elliot Wright (P)2015 Simon & Schuster

I enjoyed the book immensely!! The character building was on point, easy to flow and had the happily ever after ending.

Looking forward to the follow up book

What I liked most was the imagery of events. It was as if I were actually seeing some of the things happen. What I liked least is that I never really comprehended how all of the characters related to one another.

lacked cohesiveness

A mother’s love triumphs!
Heartwarming restoration of life out of the wreckage of trauma!!!
Although the story was very difficult to follow at first, it managed to start making sense and then I was hooked on rooting for the characters which were so well delvoped. I really loved them. It’s one of those books I find was sad to for it to end bc I’d miss the characters. Stick with it and it will fall into place.

Narration was superb! I liked her style so much, I plan to look for other books narrated by her.

This book is a great read. Blending the past and the present to find out who you are underneath all the layers with everything stripped away. Even delves into mental health issues, which I truly appreciate

Masterfully written

Enjoyed the accented voice i the reading, added to the story. The detail of Maggie’s nervous breakdown was heart wrenchingly real. Love the detail and descriptions in her writing. A great story to get lost in

A good listen

This was a different book than others I have listened to recently. It was suspenseful….I wasn’t quite sure what would happen next and how the characters were going to be “related.” The narration would just crack me up at times! I look forward to more stories from this author.

Great story!
