Battle Scars

By: Meghan O'Brien

Narrated by: Amanda Goodyear

Ray McKenna returns from the war in Iraq to find that she had attained unwanted celebrity status back home. As the only surviving American soldier of a well-publicized hostage crisis, she is the center of attention at a time when all she wants is solitude. Struggling to overcome the fear and anxiety that plague her, she relies on her psychiatric therapy dog Jagger to help her through the vicious symptoms of PTSD. Veterinarian Dr. Carly Warner hasn't yet figured out how to open her heart to the possibility of falling in love again after the death of her longtime partner. When Ray McKenna walks into the North Coast Veterinary Clinic with Jagger, she and Carly begin a friendship that takes them both by surprise. Brought together by their shared love of dogs, Ray and Carly discover that they are both capable of moving forward, if only they are brave enough to try.

Favorite one by far

I love this story from start to finish. favorite character is Ray, because of what she goes through and how she handles everything; it is amazing.

I have listened to and read this story multiple times; I love it! In my opinion, the narration was on point.

Terrible Narrator

Would you try another book from Meghan O'Brien and/or Amanda Goodyear?

I would like to continue listening/reading Meghan O'Brien's books, but I really don't think I could tolerate listening to this narrator.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She actually detracted from the story. I felt like her voice was very grating and I often was pulled from the story because I was so distracted.

Was Battle Scars worth the listening time?

I did enjoy the story but the narration was awful.

Horrible voice

I love this story but the voice butchered it completely. I was so disappointed. Shame

Terrible Narration!

Narrator is just awful. Story lacks good conversation between main characters but the premise of the story is fantastic!

potentially a great listen

Ok the story was sound. The narrator had a decent enough voice and that's where it ends; no concept on how to tell the story or how to portray the characters at all.
