The Secret Keepers of Old Depot Grocery

By: Amanda Cox

Narrated by: Stephanie Cozart

Present day. After tragedy plunges her into grief and unresolved anger, Sarah Ashby returns to her childhood home determined to finally follow her long-denied dream of running Old Depot Grocery alongside her mother and grandmother. But when she arrives, her mother, Rosemary, announces to her that the store is closing. Sarah and her grandmother, Glory Ann, make a pact to save the store, but Rosemary has worked her entire life to make sure her daughter never follows in her footsteps. She has her reasons - but she'll certainly never reveal the real one.

1965. Glory Ann confesses to her family that she's pregnant with her deceased fiancé's baby. Pressured into a marriage of convenience with a shopkeeper to preserve the family reputation, Glory Ann vows never to love again. But some promises are not as easily kept as she imagined.

This dual-timeline story from Amanda Cox deftly explores the complexity of a mother-daughter dynamic, the way the secrets we keep shape our lives and the lives of others, and the healing power of telling the truth.

You can count on a happy ending with this author

This is my second book by this author and i do enjoy her stories. They are simple stories about flawed people. Lots of secrets that create problems. I could do without the continuous references to faith and praying. I listen in spite of the religion because they are cute stories. I couldn't have a constant menu of it though, after one of her books I have dive into something deep.

Great listen!

It was so refreshing to hear honest heartfelt love and emotion in this audiobook! I loved it!

Real life..messy, but blessed

Loved everything! The voices were perfect. The story was real life and encouraging. It didn’t need the fluff of vulgarities or cussing to make it relatable and engaging. Thank you!!!

Excellent new author

This is my first story by this author, and it was so excellent! I felt like I was there in rural Tennessee with the family through the generations at Old Depot Grocery. Lots of great messages and spiritual lessons. And the audio narration was absolutely perfect! I’ll be reading this author again.

Great women’s Christian Fiction

Loved the dual storyline of GloryAnn, Rosemary and Sarah. The story kept me involved and wanting to continue my drive just to listen to what would happen next in the lives of these women.
