Finding Amos

By: J. D. Mason, ReShonda Tate Billingsley, Bernice L. McFadden

Narrated by: Kevin Free

Three best-selling authors join talents in a multidimensional novel that illustrates the importance of love, family, and forgiveness.

Three daughters, connected only through their relationship to Amos, a now elderly ex-musician struggling with Alzheimer's disease, find their lives intertwining as a car accident reunites them at Amos' bedside - bringing some long-buried issues to light.

Cass has little self-worth after Amos left her as a child. It is only through her cake-decorating business and encouragement from her best friend that she begins to reconstruct her life, eventually realizing she has enough room in her heart to forgive him.

Love-starved Toya doesn't want to emulate others' failed relationships. As she begins to strengthen her morals and stops seducing married men - she is surprised to discover that she shares some similarities with Amos.

Tomiko is a beautiful but lonely woman. Despite having a successful career in writing, she attempts to keep aspects of herself and her past buried as a coping mechanism. However, new love reawakens her faith in both herself and men.

As Cass, Toya, and Tomiko reconcile their feelings of abandonment, Amos reflects on his life and the decisions he made. And by revisiting their painful pasts, they all find ways to reconnect with each other and live with compassion.

It was ok

I think the storyline lacked a little and the narrator didn't help at all. So it was an ok book!

Could have listened to more; much room for sequel.

Realistic. True to life. Envisioned my own father--this is his life (was) he' s dead now. The only difference is I never got the chance to meet my sibs; could be walking past them every day.

Finding Amos

Here is a sweet story of love lost and then found, forgiveness and starting anew.

good listen

the story was a good one and rings similar to many women. I enjoyed listening.

Great reading and storyline. I loved the ending .

Great reading and story. The book was very entertaining. It showed the power of forgiveness.

Nice story, awful reader

The story was nice and keeps your attention. .... but the person reading this story was pretty bad. he seemed to struggle with the female voices and bouncing back and fourth between the characters. very hard to get into the story because of him.

Awesome read

This was truly an awesome book. I enjoyed every word. It reminds me of the only love you can receive from family.

I love these artists, what happened?

When I saw all three team up for a novel, I just knew it was an automatic classic. I dislike when authors introduce an issue but do not address it in the novel. I thought from the novel's opening Amos gave daddy issues because he had daddy issues.

Best collaboration EVER!!!

I almost skipped reading this book because Amos reminded me of my Father before he passed. Even though he was always in my life, I always felt farther away from him than my siblings. I learned a lot about forgiveness and grace during that time and hop anyone who reads this book is open enough to learn something too...

Storyline

I needed more. I want to know what happened to the romance in each of the girls lives. There is so much more that was left out. I loved how the story began but thought they cut it short at the end. A great quick listen if you are taking a drive from Philly to DC. Very entertaining
