About this listen

Broke and lonely, Kim is about to make the worst decision ever.

Divorced and struggling, middle-aged Kim is hanging on by her fingernails. When her elderly mother invites her to move home to Florida, to the lush island of her childhood, Kim is tempted. She could spend time with Mom, start her dream business, and craft the perfect new life.

On the other hand, Mom has a masters in manipulation, and there’s a reason Kim fled to California in her youth. But, she’s too mature and experienced now to fall into the same family drama.

Telling herself it’ll all work out, Kim loads a rental trailer with her last few belongings and heads for Estero Island, hoping she isn't making a huge mistake.

Love this book!

As a “seasoned” citizen, and a people pleaser, I enjoyed the story of a woman making peace with her past and family, caregiving and moving forward into the next chapter of life. Well written as well as entertaining story.

I feel seen...

I wonder how many adult kids have read this book and thought, this is my story!? I related to so much from start to finish (without the romance, darn it!) Kim felt the pull of her 'I can fix it' gene and moved across the country to help her elderly, ailing mother only to find out it was worse than expected.
I listened to Jenny Myers as she narrated this book and, just wow! She has perfect voice for this book. She made me believe every character.
I highly recommend this book!

I agree with the other reviewer!

I am sure many of us can see parts of ourselves in this book. Sometimes too close for comfort. A well written story.

The narration was great. Jenny Myers did a grat job.

I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

changing of life

Kim is divorced, living in California , . Her husband left her with a mountain of debt. She has a lot on her plate.
Her mother, is a master manipulator always making Kim feel guilty. she told her she needed her to help.
She moved back to her childhood. home, only to find th house in disrepair., her invalid aunt living there.
All her mom wanted her for is to help he a caretaker for them both.
Kim had to learn to be strong, not an enabler and give in.
She grew in this story to become her own person and take charge of her own life.
Jenny Myers narration is good,

Great story

I enjoyed this book for the most part, kept me intrigued but I will say in the beginning I was not to fond of the narrator, her voice seemed flat and had a hard time getting into it but because I did enjoy the story I kept listening. By the last 1/3 of the book the narrator got better and I actually enjoyed it.
