More to Life

De: ReShonda Tate Billingsley

Narrado por: Janina Edwards

In this stunning sequel to her acclaimed debut My Brother's Keeper, number one national best-selling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley brings her real-deal insight to a heartfelt new novel about a wife and mother on a daring rescue mission - to save herself.

Freshly 45, Aja James knows that her life is good, complete with a loving, wealthy husband, well-adjusted children, and a beautiful home. Yet the truth is, she feels painfully unfulfilled, stuck in the present, haunted by a painful past. When a friend suggests a girls' trip to a tropical paradise, Aja hopes a change of scene will also change her perspective.

On vacation, filled with fun and freedom, Aja is relieved to find her spirits lifting. But her good time also shines a light on what's troubling her: from her siblings to her husband and kids, she's spent nearly her whole life taking care of everyone - except herself. She's lost her spark. She's lost her identity.

Desperate to turn things around, Aja makes an impulsive decision - one that outrages her family and stuns her friends. But it may also be her wisest choice. Because it's only through learning what she could lose - and what's truly worth keeping - that Aja can transform this temporary fix into real, lasting happiness.

Highly Recommended

One of my favorite reads of 2020. Reshonda Tate Billingsley shows why she is a powerhouse in the Literary World with this book.

good read

a very good read and easy to follow everyday life situations somewhat predictable outcomes and tolerance

Courage and strength

I could see myself in this book I know this book is fiction but this is so much of what my life is about. Thank you for giving me the courage

More to life

It was a good read. I understood why she wanted to start doing stuff she wanted instead of catering to others but did not see the reason she wanted out. I felt like with clear communication they could have worked it out. I don’t think I would have gave up so quickly because they will always have ties because of the kids she just wanted to do something for herself and she never made it clear to her family.

very good for her

I did not dislike anything about this book. It took so much bravery for her to follow her passion I think, most married women can relate.

Already Hooked!

I’m only halfway through chapter one and can relate to Aja’s life. Everyone depends on you so much you forget about yourself. Love the writing! *Update* Great story that felt so similar to some of my life. I hate that Aja didn’t communicate and set boundaries with her family so she could get to a place of fulfillment and still keep them together. She never tried to communicate her feelings. Aja behaved terribly to Charles. He did nothing but show her love but she acted like her not being happy was his fault. I really enjoyed this story.

Either or.

This book makes it look like women can't chase both dreams and happy homes. It's a great read for people who feel suffocated

good story

I enjoyed the story and the narration however I feel like the author kind of drops you at the end and cuts it off like she is ready to be done with it already lol.

Great Story!

Finding your purpose dwells in us all. This is a wonderful story journaling what can be achieved when you be still and listen to your heart!

Read my brother’s keeper first

I realize two of the names were names that I recognize in a couple of reads prior to this book. Then it all came together. I really really enjoyed this read kept me engaged. I finished in two days.
