Show Me a Kindness

De: Nancy Brandon

Narrado por: Shannon McManus, Bahni Turpin, Will Damron, Todd Haberkorn

As America plunges into the Great Depression, Marthanne Hendrix finds herself in rural Vidalia, Georgia, with no memory of how she got there.

Bewildered when the neighbors call her Oma, Marthanne is haunted by memories of another life - and another self. With the help of Comfort, a domestic worker living with her own tremendous loss, Marthanne discovers that Oma is another distinct personality inhabiting her body. In a time when mental illness is taboo, Marthanne and Oma's simple, small-town life is fraught with complexity and danger.

With gossip running rampant, Marthanne and Oma will do anything to avoid their greatest fear: commitment to an insane asylum. Only by relying on Comfort's kindness can they navigate their uncertain future. Friendship becomes sanctuary, and the quest for an ordinary life leads to an extraordinary bond.

Deeply moving and exquisitely wrought, Show Me a Kindness is a haunting novel of love, survival, and hiding in plain sight.

I loved this book wow

I had no idea at first that this book was about...well what it was about lol. I don’t wanna give it away. But it was damn awesome. The ending was a little unexpected but I truly enjoyed this book, ALL I CAN SAY US WOW!!!

Easy listen and engaging

Really enjoyed this book. First of all, I love the narrator. Second, the storyline was easy to follow and not boring. I tend to listen to books while driving and this was perfect.

Story was good

Frustrating part was the reader sang most hymns to a made-up toon. If it’s worth reading the story, it’s worth learning a few bars of the hymns for authenticity.

Great find

I found this on kindle unlimited and loved it from the beginning till end. The story was suspenseful and twisty. Very unique plot. Narrators were all great.

great storyline.....enjoyed the performance.

I haven't anything additional to say....but this silly review will not allow you to submit without a minimum of 15 words

Excellent listen!

My husband & I listened together and both loved it. The story is intriguing, performed beautifully by several talented readers. Highly recommended!

Love love love

I absolutely was absorbed by this book. Everything from the content to the excellent reading of the book had me sucked in and wanting more.

Reflection on Comfort

Many things in life take us out of our comfort zone. Even reading about circumstances foreign to one's self make the mind reaflect on our biases and fears, and in the quiet of that reflection come to grips with those ideas that limit our field of acceptance. This is one of those books that opens the mind and heart to differences, leaving one just a little more tolerant and alot more free to love.
