The View from Alameda Island

De: Robyn Carr

Narrado por: Therese Plummer

A poignant and powerful story about how one woman’s best intentions lead to the worst of situations and how love helps her to heal and ultimately triumph.

From the outside looking in, Lauren Delaney has a life to envy - a successful career, a solid marriage to a prominent surgeon, and two beautiful daughters who are off to good colleges. But on her 24th wedding anniversary, Lauren makes a decision that will change everything.

Lauren won’t pretend things are perfect anymore. She defies the controlling husband who has privately mistreated her throughout their marriage and files for divorce. And as she starts her new life, she meets a kindred spirit - a man who is also struggling with the decision to end his unhappy marriage.

But Lauren’s husband wants his “perfect” life back, and his actions are shocking. Facing an uncertain future, Lauren discovers an inner strength she didn’t know she had as she fights for the love and happiness she deserves.

I love Robyn Carr and all of her books. This wasn't my favorite because things felt a little far fetched in the drama department. I love that the characters are mature and I always like seeing characters that are having a rough time persevere and come out better in the end which this couple does. In the end it was enjoyable and had a very happy ending.

The narration as always is Therese Plummer who I adore so of course she was amazing.

wonderful

I am really enjoying listening to Robin's book. if she would leave the F word out, it would be even better

Insightful

The story keeps you engaged to the end. Points out some real threats that can come from a divorce action. Gives good insights into plans of action.

Of this author work and record bring the books to life and keeps you hooked

Loved it!

Hope Robyn doesn’t wait too long for the next book! I love her stories and sometimes put the book down for awhile because I don’t want them to end so soon! Hope this becomes a series!

Interesting story

This story amazed me and shook me up at the same time. What a difficult journey Beau and Lauren had. I did enjoy the conclusion to their story. Therese Plummer was great as usual!

This is a great one!

Love this story line and plot twist. The readers are very engaging if and really make the characters shine.

Great story

The narrator is wonderful and the story as well. These books are easy listening with heartfelt situations. Good read.

Very heartwarming

This is not one of my favorites from Carr, but still a good book and worth the listen . It was a very good love story in the middle of messy divorces. The character development with a cast of lively supporting characters was the best part of the book. I felt it lacked a little steam that her other books have.

I’ll be looking for more books by this author. A relaxing read

The main characters were interesting and had integrity, even the villains were believable. The story is something could happen. I loved the wisdom of the healthy parenting.
