Significant Others

By: Marilyn Baron

Narrated by: Kathleen Li

For Honey Palladino, the holidays have lost their magic. She is sure her husband is cheating on her. Her daughter plans to spend the time with a friend. Her widowed mother sees the image of Jesus in a live oak tree. As if that's not enough, her mother is also talking about going on a Christmas cruise with some old geezer, without benefit of marriage. That would be right after she signs away the family business - the real estate agency Honey's father built into a company worth millions, the job to which Honey has devoted her life.

At her mother's condo in Boca Raton, Florida, many have recently lost a spouse and are now with "significant others", and Honey is intrigued by the promise of new love, even at an old age, but doubts she'll ever find another significant other after her inevitable divorce.

When her mother reunites with a lost love from years before, Honey is completely undone, but the "Jesus tree" puts into motion a series of holiday miracles. Discovering what's important in life brings a message of hope for lovers of all ages.

I loved the story

I enjoyed listening to Significant Others book very much. The story had love and loss and real life issues as well as second chances. I have not read or listened to many books where main characters are over 30 years old and I really liked that this book had mature characters. It was great to listen to story where women after 50 are not portrayed as funny granny or grumpy side characters, but full of life, love, hopes and desires. Narrator did a great job bringing all the characters to life and I loved listening to her voice telling the story. This was my first book by this author and narrator and I am looking forward to listening to more books by this author/narrator team.

Please READ THIS BOOK!

It is a wonderful, down-to-earth story about a family and their connections to various people in their lives and I personally feel that it can be read and enjoyed by any adult.
It is told with so much humor and feeling that even though there are some sad parts in it, one still comes away feeling really good.
The narrator, Kathleen Li, has done a great job. She captures the personalities of each of the characters really well and it enhances this well written story.
I am so glad that I requested and listened to this audiobook - I simply couldn't put it down and am more than happy to recommend it to you.
My voluntary review above is unbiased.

This book is enjoyable to listen to. It was funny and the story moved along at a good pace. I was not expecting how the book ends.

This is a new author for me, I love that the characters are of middle age. The story will hit home with a lot of people. The narration was wonderful

superb audio performance

while the storyline is not unique, it is likeable.
what kept me listening was the audio perfomance. the clear voice. well enunciated, making emphasis in the right places while giving each charter depth of identity.
Enjoyed the book. Most of all, enjoyed the clever narration.
Writer and narrator make a dynamic duo!
