Letters from Peaceful Lane

De: Janet Dailey

Narrado por: Jack Garrett

In the rugged Ozarks of beautiful Branson, Missouri, a woman struggles to save her marriage - and finds answers from an unexpected source....

Allison felt like she'd stepped into a fairy tale when she married widower Burke Caldwell. But after less than a year of marriage, he's become removed and distant. His friends see Allison as little more than a trophy wife; his only daughter regards her as the enemy. With everyone so devoted to the memory of Burke's first wife, Kate, how can Allison possibly compete?

Then a harrowing car crash leaves Burke badly injured. It becomes achingly clear the woman Burke wants by his side is the wife he lost....

No longer able to dismiss the power Kate still holds, Allison can't resist reading a trove of hidden letters from Kate to Burke. What she discovers sets her mind reeling.

The letters give Allison an enlightening window into her husband's heart. But will she have the courage to put aside her own fears and grab hold of a love as big and bold as the man she once dared to marry?

Mediocre

I thought the book was mediocre and predictable…
Reader should have been female since those were the main characters.

Very slow

A nice story, but it dragged. I considered stopping several times before the end. It may be perfect for others.

Great read

Not my usual read, but so glad I did. This book was intriguing, had a little love and some conflict to balance it all out. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

A Great Story

All the characters in the book were so real.
I just couldn't turn it off.

Good story, well written

Narrator was excellent. A bit long on the hospital with the round and round with the partner.

loved it

Loved it and now my hubby is hooked on Janet Dailey. she is my favorite author.

Very enjoyable

I Happened upon this read and was pleasantly surprised.
This is a well written engaging feel good story!

Loved the letters!

In my opinion, second wife Allison is the star of this book. While her husband Burke is recovering from a serious car accident, she's dealing with the negative opinions of all his friends who adored his first wife who died from cancer. On top of that, there's an unhappy stepdaughter, a very unscrupulous business partner/best friend, and the mob. But she loves him and is willing to do anything to help save the family and his business. The letters Allison finds from his first wife Kate are truly a revelation. I really enjoyed them!

Good Book

It took forever to get to anything interesting. That being said, the character development was amazing. I really felt like I knew them all by the end of the book. I love the strength, compassion, and humanity represented in this book.

Melted my heart

Such a tender storyline that kept me listening right to the very end, I didn't want to miss anything.
