Loved reading this

The story kept me interested through out. Loves the back and forth stories between 1860's and present time. Usually good at guessing endings but this one kept me guessing.

The end was a complete surprise!

Absolutely loved this book. Loved how the twists in both story lines have such similarities and I really liked how you moved back and forth in the timelines, and telling us at the beginning of each timeline what year it is. That's important to do, especially for someone like me, so I don't get confused. I love this book and highly recommend it.

I like the concept of the story.

The story was good. it needs more context to be more of a mystery. And there was to much going from the present to the past. The person doing the reading has the worse southern accent. I live in South Carolina, I would know.

Loved the book!

The 3 stories and tie ins to all 3 were different and enjoyable! Fun and entertaining!

Listened to the entire book today!

Love the story line, the back in forth in the timeline kept me on my toes.

hard to follow at first

It was listening to 2 books at the same time about the family.Very interesting very well written very wow

Hoping book #2 is just as good

I loved the location (Charleston and Pawleys Island) as I lived there for 5 years. I liked the characters and the story moving back and forth between Civil War era and current time.

Three stories in one

I loved the intertwining stories of this book. I listened to this book in my car as I went to work or just drove around. I found myself lingering in the driveway yo get in as much as I could everyday.

I’m headed over to buy book two.

Unexpected Surprise… Loved it!!!!

Thank goodness I took a chance and purchased this book! I really like the story and once I turned the book on it played right up until the end.
Although a couple hundred years apart Hanna and her Great Great (?) Grandmother Amanda shared a very similar life with the death/murder of their husbands being a pivotal moment in each of their lives. The timeline goes back and forth between the two women. As each new event occurs in the present day, a comparison is drawn to her GGGrandmother’s. They both suffer through unwanted sexual advances by people they considered close. They also are dealt financial blows and threats because of their husbands.
Narration by Emily Sutton Smith is the best of the best!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book.
