They Call Her Dirty Sally

De: Amy Matayo

Narrado por: Sean Cordry, Dana Dae

For years, the town of Silver Bell, Arkansas has quietly mourned the hospital fire that claimed the lives of nine of its residents—the town doctor, a young expectant mother, and seven infants. So, when journalist Finn Hardwick is assigned the story as part of a national thirtieth anniversary memorial service, he arrives at the town ready to interview its residents, thinking they’ll be ready to share and eager to make headlines. He isn’t prepared for the resistance. Or for what appears to be a collective unwillingness to answer his questions.

Faced with one roadblock after another, Finn enlists the help of Billi Ellis, the young motel receptionist that everyone in the town seems to like. Maybe she can get them to open up to him. Maybe she can help him make sense of everything he keeps uncovering. Especially the unexpected tie this tragedy appears to have to his own life. A tie that leads him directly to the old woman who seems to hold the key to everything. The woman everyone avoids…the woman they call “dirty”…the woman who hasn’t spoken a word to anyone since the day the hospital burned.

Excellent

Truly enjoyed listening to this book. The story, the narrators and the joyous ending. Perfect.

The relatable tendency to accept generational bias as fact

Slow to get started, but takes off and keeps it interesting. Story told from multiple view points and perspectives.

Don't Pass This One Up!!

Great story! This book will touch all of your emotions. Very good in every facet. I will be searching for more from this author.

Fantastic story telling

I loved this book made my heart hurt how people treated her I loved the narration kept me interested thru out

Enjoyable and easy read

I enjoyed the mystery element and the characters were likeable. I feel a bit was pushed too far - the amount of poor treatment of Sally was a bit unbelievable, along with some of the descriptions of the couple married 20+ years, a little cheesy and unrealistic. But all in all, an enjoyable easy listen.

loved

i liked this book even though it was heartbreaking at times. it made me think about my own childhood and those most unfortunate.

This is a great book

I really enjoyed this book. It was well written and proves the point of why we should be kind to each other. You never know what someone else is going through and how you could be the difference.

I loved this reader!

Great book and wonderful readers kept me engaged and didn’t make me wanna stop a good reader. Definitely makes a break a book when you’re listening to it on Audible.

Predictable but feel good

Great characters. Great feel good ending even though it was foreshadowed early in the story.

Predictable but good.

It was a good story and kept me
Interested although it was very easy to predict the ending. The male narrator, however, was shall I say using a “smirky” voice? I had a hard time trying to focus on what he was saying rather than how he was saying it. Poor choice for the character of Finn.
