The locale was fun

 The main character was multi dimensional, and very likable, but as a nurse, she was in denial about people close to her, which made the narrative ring not quite true. I enjoyed the interactions with a thinly veiled, literary character.

Intricate island based book

I enjoyed listening to the story with all the trials and tribulations, triumphs and losses of the island based story. I wasn’t enamored of the narrator, but it was only minor detraction from the story itself.

Captivating beyond words.. WOW

I never write reviews but I have to share my experience with this. This book came recommended to me and I had planned to listen to it over the course of a week or so. However I started listening and just could not stop. It drew me in with its beautiful flowing ease and I found myself thinking about the characters even after I stopped listening. A compelling story.. an emotional and honest tribute of love and loss dealing with the complex world of addiction. To say that this drew me in and affected me is an understatement. Thank you to this very talented author Dianne C. Braley, I cannot wait to delve into more of her incredible writing. Wow!!!
