The Last Stars in the Sky

By: Kate Hewitt

Narrated by: Kate Handford

An unforgettable and heartbreaking story about one woman’s determination to keep her family together when the world falls apart.

“Mom, why are you so mad at Dad?”
“I’m not,” I say, which isn’t exactly true. Putting on a brave face for my two young daughters—pretending everything is fine in my marriage—has been hard. That, and losing the house after Daniel lied to me.

I never expected to have to uproot my family to go live in my parents’ isolated cottage on Lost Lake. It’s twenty miles to the nearest town, an insignificant speck in endless pine forests. Nobody’s lived here for a decade.

Now, I pick up a rusty pail from its nest of autumn leaves and turn to my daughter. Suddenly, I recall how I used to help my own mother pick wild strawberries up here as a little girl. Maybe, this isn’t a punishment. Maybe this place will be the making of our family.

Later, I’ll hold on to these memories—ghostly shreds of another life. Because just eight hours after I tucked my daughters into bed, feeling so hopeful, the world as I knew it—as anyone knew it—was gone for good.

What do you do when the worst thing in the world happens to your family? A gripping, beautiful story that will break your heart from a million-copy bestselling author. For fans of Boo Walker, Where the Forest Meets the Stars and Julianne MacLean.

Really enjoyed!!

Could not stop listening! This is not the type of book I normally would listen to but it was so good. I cannot wait for the second book.

Excellent Book

I am not sure what I was expecting from the synopsis of this book, but it threw me for a loop.

A mother is trying to keep her family together after her husband loses his job and they lose everything. They decide to take a trip to her parents' old cabin in Canada and spend six weeks from Thanksgiving through Christmas to get their life together and have some family time free from the distractions of everyday city life.

Out in the wooded areas of Quebec away from major cities, the world changes for everyone.. Survival is the key in a world completely different. Can they rise to the task?

Kate Hewitt takes the reader on a journey of what life could be like in an instance.

Amazing

This was such a great book well worth the credit!! I would love a series.

Great book. loved the storyline.

the only thing that I didn't like was the fact the mother was so upset about her husband but barly upset about her son. what real life mother would be this way?

Survivalist

If anything happens like this in my life time , I pray I am as courageous! Great book very well told !!
