A Novel of 1930s Philadelphia

By: Karen Heenan

Narrated by: Hollie Jackson, Anna Caputo

Recently widowed Ava has moved to Philadelphia, determined to start over. With her children and blossoming career as a dressmaker taking up all her time, she's not ready for charming, persistent Max Byrne. But he shows up at every turn, making it impossible for Ava to ignore him—and worse yet, she's not sure she wants to.



Claire is torn between pride in her sister's self-reliance and finding a way to pay back the debt she owes her. When an unexpected meeting in Washington DC gives Claire the chance to make change on an even larger scale, she jumps at the opportunity.

Don't miss out on this captivating sequel as Ava and Claire navigate love, sacrifice, and the intricate dance of family bonds. Step back in time and immerse yourself in a narrative where the echoes of the past are still heard and a single choice can resonate through generations. Are you ready for the journey?

Such a good book

Technical complaint: Having read the book previously, I was very aware that the last ten or so paragraphs of the book are missing, cutting off the story when there are still a couple important points to settle. I hope that gets fixed.

**

As with book 1, the Ava narrator is overly dramatic and her voicing of Claire is so different from the Claire narrator's actual voice they might as well be two separate characters.

All the same, I adore this book. I love you, Max Byrne, I'll love you 'til the day I die.
