A Show of Faith

A Short Story

By: Greer Hendricks

Narrated by: Susannah Jones, Lauren Ezzo

From the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Wife Between Us comes a twisty short story about a chance encounter that tests the boundaries of a mother’s love.

Blair Martin’s days rarely vary: she gets up, goes for a run, and then heads to work at a Manhattan literary agency where she nurtures authors through the publishing process. Her nights, spent alone in her too-large apartment, are similarly predictable.

Then on an ordinary Wednesday, Blair enters her office building and spies a lost wallet. When Blair tracks down the owner, they arrange for a simple exchange. But the young woman, Maya, seems so vulnerable, much like Blair’s own daughter, Faith, who died tragically just last year, and Blair is unable to simply walk away. Tentatively, Blair takes Maya under her wing. Both women are all too familiar with loss, and they find solace in spending time together. But as their connection deepens, they discover that each of them is harboring secrets much darker than grief.

Strange Twist of Fate

Performers are excellent and their voices are well suited for their ages. Can two needy people meet each other’s needs when there relationships is based on lies? Find out by listening.

Catching story

This left me want to know what happened next. Disappointed it ended so quickly.

Captivating

I was hooked from the first page. There are two voices that go back and forth. While I'm not a fan of this technique, Hendricks makes it work beautifully. A 39 page short story that moved quickly and smoothly.

Well rounded.

Thoroughly enjoyed.

Good short listen

An entertaining story and short listen for when you want to finish a story same day. I wished it was just a bit longer since the plot was pretty rushed and I’d be interested in knowing what happens next.

A Show of Faith

This was a well written piece & the reader was excellent. Just was shocked that it ended so abruptly.
