Worth It

De: Amy Nielsen

Narrado por: Shealey Hannigan

Seventeen-year-old Angela Carter intended to pick out prom dresses with her best friend and fill out college applications during her senior year. But her father abandons the family, and her addict mother kicks her out. The now pregnant teen’s new normal is keeping her pressure cooker older boyfriend, Dale, from erupting.

When an intoxicated Dale loses control of her car one night, Angela fears she’ll never hold her unborn child. Desperate for what little stability he provides, and for fear of his retaliation, Angela lies to the police when questioned about the accident. Her lie not only protects him from a DUI but also conceals a darker secret—what happens behind the closed doors of their single-wide trailer.

Set in Central Florida in the late 80s, Worth It is a story of courage, redemption, and the power of becoming your own hero.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Nielsen’s words provide hope and light—even when all seems lost in this heart-wrenching coming-of-age drama.” -Award-winning author, S.E. Reed, My Heart is Hurting

The narrator was so impressive with her voices and her cadence! Drew me right into the life of the protagonist.

Loved the performance of the narration. The last few chapters were my favorite of the book.

Narrator makes this book!

This narrator did an incredible job with all the voices and really MADE this book! Her voices were engaging and believable. Would love to hear her again!

Very emotional book about teenage pregnancy and life

I really loved the story. I wasn’t in-love with the narrator, but everything else was such an emotional ride that left me really fighting and hoping for Angela’s happy ending. Thank you to the wonderful author Amy for the ability to listen this awesome audible release!
