Just Once

By: Lori Handeland

Narrated by: Madeleine Maby, Paul Heitsch, Carrington MacDuffie

Frankie Sicari is roused from sleep late one night by a key rattling in the front door lock. It’s her ex-husband, Charley Blackwell, a man she hasn’t seen for nearly a quarter of a century. What’s baffling is that Charley seems to think they are still married and has no recollection of his current wife, Hannah.

When medical tests reveal shocking findings, Frankie finds herself reluctantly caring for the man who left her 20 years earlier, while Hannah is relegated to the sidelines. How can Frankie forgive the man who abandoned her when she needed him most? And how can Hannah cope with the impending death of the man she’s loved for the past 20 years - especially now that she’s faced with the shattering truth that he never stopped loving Frankie?

Good book but not my favorite by this Author

I enjoyed this book but while I truly understood the other characters I found Charlie to be very childish selfish and inconsiderate. He hurt those whom he loved the most. There’s an old southern saying “karma rides a slow horse.” I believe his mistress-2nd wife & himself were both left alone and feeling very much like the ones they hurt. The only ones who were innocent were Lisa & Heath both of whom gave their all to bring awareness an educate others thus changing the world and helping so many. Lisa taught Charlie to be careful what you wish for. It’s a decent listen and I enjoyed it although the flashbacks made it hard to Piece togethetbstbt I mrrb
