Well done!

Definitely could feel the experience and the characters experiencing the store as it progressed. Read well by narrator. Custody is recommended by me!

Family drama

Excellent narrator and sweet story of convoluted lives, somewhat predictable. consider what makes a family.

Custody

This book was very good, great story. I love being an Audible customer. NANCY Thayer is a great story teller.

Custody

I could not stop listening! Nancy Thayer is a favorite of mine and this book kept my interest! I will listen again.

Another good story

I thought this was a very good story. A little short on details and occasionally you would expect the characters to make much better decisions… Can’t say much more or it will be a spoiler.

I really enjoyed most of Nancy players books, and this was a good one.

I really did not want it to end

I am loving the books of this author, just for audible. I think this may be my favorite. The characters are so real and story had me wanting to listen all the time. An excellent book.

Good to listen to. Good story.

Easy listen good story line. I enjoyed the narrator. I thought it ended oddly. I would have liked to know more about Randall and Kelly's future life.

Tempered and Forged by the Kiln of Experience

I purchased this book as a fan of narrator Angela Dawe. If you are a fan of this narrator, don’t miss mystery author Marcia Clark series Samantha Brinkman
I do use the 1.25x speed to match the author’s intent. I do purchase by narrator first unless I am a long time fan of an author. Eg Sandra Brown, Julie James, Rachel Gibson
This story came to life and was made better by Ms Dawe’s talent to portray our hero and heroine spot on.
Author used soul connected conversations with vivid portraits of emotions and surroundings for this story of hope and new beginnings. Well read people will enjoy the tale as the editing is very good, and it’s worthy of a book club.
I see this author has tried a number of different narrators to showcase her work, and l am thrilled she selected Ms Dawe to narrate this story. Well done!
I will check out a fave narrator, Karen White’s, read of this author, Beachcombers. Ms White does the Julie James FBI/US Attorney series, GREAT
Were my comments helpful?

Lousy ending

Can’t figure out what the title of the book has to do with the story. Built up & then it ended just as it could have gotten good. Really bad ending... lots of loose ends.

Custody

This is a wonderful story about people who have a challenge that is one of the most difficult that anyone could be faced with and how they try to deal with it.What an excellent author. I must read more of her stories. I can’t wait to begin the next.
