About this listen

In the South, family is always more complicated than it seems.

After her last remaining family member dies, Sara Jenkins goes home to The Hideaway, her grandmother Mags’s ramshackle B&B in Sweet Bay. She intends to quickly tie up loose ends then return to her busy life and thriving antique shop in New Orleans. Instead, she learns Mags has willed The Hideaway to her and charged her with renovating it — no small task considering her grandmother’s best friends, a motley crew of senior citizens, still live there.

Rather than hurrying back to New Orleans, Sara stays in Sweet Bay and begins the biggest house-rehabbing project of her career. Amid drywall dust, old memories, and a charming contractor, she discovers that slipping back into life at The Hideaway is easier than she expected.

Then she discovers a box Mags left in the attic with clues to a life Sara never imagined for her grandmother. With help from Mags’s friends, Sara begins to piece together the mysterious life of bravery, passion, and choices that changed her grandmother’s destiny in both marvelous and devastating ways.

When an opportunistic land developer threatens to seize The Hideaway, Sara is forced to make a choice — stay in Sweet Bay and fight for the house and the people she’s grown to love or leave again and return to her successful but solitary life in New Orleans.

I couldn’t warm up to the narrator. It’s a sweet, predictable story with not much character development.

This book was so detailed in description I could almost feel the once familiar warmth and humidity of the south. The reader did a wonderful job with the Drawl of the south through each of the lovely characters, telling the story of a strong woman finding her way, friendships and of course love found and lost.

What a lovely story

I loved the characters in “The Hideaway”. The way that the author developed the characters made me want the story to never end!

Perfect summer read

I enjoyed this story, and the reader. I give it 4 stars only because I couldn't give it 4.5 and I save 5 for spectacular. It was romantic, yet clean, which seems to be getting more rare. I grew up at the beach, so this hit home for me. PS--It was a good pandemic read, too!

Engaging story. Good Beach Read!
