What Remains True

A Novel

By: Janis Thomas

Narrated by: Lauren Ezzo, Scott Lange, Mikael Naramore, Nick Podehl, Amy McFadden, Tanya Eby, Mia Ellis, Scott Merriman

In this mesmerizing drama, one life-altering event catapults a family into turmoil, revealing secrets that may leave them fractured forever...or bind them together tighter than ever before.

From the outside, the Davenports look like any other family living a completely ordinary life - until that devastating day when five-year-old Jonah is killed, and the family is torn apart. As the fury of guilt engulfs them, the Davenports slowly start to unravel, one by one.

Losing her son forces Rachel to withdraw into a frayed, fuzzy reality. Her husband, Sam, tries to remain stoic, but he's consumed by regret with the choices he's made. Eden mourns her brother, while desperately fighting to regain a sense of normalcy. And Aunt Ruth, Rachel's sister, works too hard to care for the family, even as her own personal issues haunt her.

Told from multiple points of view - including Jonah's - the family struggles to cope with unthinkable loss. But as they face their own dark secrets about that terrible day, they have a choice: to be swallowed up in sadness forever, or begin the raw, arduous ascent back to living.

Loved it!

A great story about how a family handles a tragedy. It touched my heart.

It was just okay...very typical

The story seemed forced, like it was trying to make sure it covered all the interest points without really giving the characters any depth.

Jonah's voice

Didn't care for the boy's voice.
This is to fill in the required remaining words.

attention grabbing with a great storyline and narr

this is one of the best books I've listened to in a while. I started it on a long drive and couldn't stop listening to it. don't want to give too much away but I went through a range of emotions reading this book. the end was summed up very nicely. I would definitely recommend.

Heartbreak well written

This book was amazing! I laughed, I cried, I got angry and I forgave. The voices were spot on!! A definite keeper!!
