I'll Be There

By: Holly Goldberg Sloan

Narrated by: Laura Jennings

Emily Bell believes in destiny. To her, being forced to sing a solo in the church choir - despite her average voice - is fate: because it's while she's singing that she first sees Sam. At first sight they are connected.

Sam Border wishes he could escape, but there's nowhere for him to run. He and his little brother, Riddle, have spent their entire lives constantly uprooted by their unstable father. As Sam and Riddle are welcomed into the Bells' lives, they witness the warmth and protection of a family for the first time. But when tragedy strikes, they're left fighting for survival in the desolate wilderness - and wondering if they'll ever find a place where they can belong.

Good story but...

The narrator ruined it for me. I’m sorry but she is whispering and it’s putting me to sleep. She sound like she is bored and need a bit more energy.

H.G.Sloan has done it again!

I'll Be There is gripping from first sentence until last! I'm eager to jump into the rest of the story with Just Call My Name.

Needs to be a film!

Achingly Beautiful Story, Unsatisfying Narration

I love this book and it deserves a quality narration. Sadly it didn't get one. Laura Jennings has a decent voice, but she read this in a choppy way- with incorrect emphasis that often didn't match the punctuation. She also tended to read in a monotone that was hard to listen to. I still purchased the book because I like the writing enough to ignore the way it's read.
