Acerca de esta escucha

"We Hope for Better Things has it all: fabulous storytelling, an emotional impact that lingers long after you turn the last page, and a setting that immerses you. I haven't read such a powerful, moving story since I read To Kill a Mockingbird in high school. This book will change how you look at the world we live in. Highly recommended!" (Colleen Coble, USA Today best-selling author of the Rock Harbor series and The View from Rainshadow Bay)

"A timely exploration of race in America, We Hope for Better Things is an exercise of empathy that will shape many a soul. Erin Bartels navigates this sensitive topic with compassion as she shifts her readers back and forth between past and present, nudging us to examine the secrets we keep, the grudges we hold, and the prejudices we may help create even without intention." (Julie Cantrell, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of Perennials)

When Detroit Free Press reporter Elizabeth Balsam meets James Rich, his strange request - that she look up a relative she didn't know she had in order to deliver an old camera and a box of photos - seems like it isn't worth her time. But when she loses her job after a botched investigation, she suddenly finds herself with nothing but time.

At her great-aunt's 150-year-old farmhouse, Elizabeth uncovers a series of mysterious items, locked doors, and hidden graves. As she searches for answers to the riddles around her, the remarkable stories of two women who lived in this very house emerge as testaments to love, resilience, and courage in the face of war, racism, and misunderstanding. And as Elizabeth soon discovers, the past is never as past as we might like to think.

Debut novelist Erin Bartels takes listeners on an emotional journey through time - from the volatile streets of 1960s Detroit to the Underground Railroad during the Civil War - to uncover the past, confront the seeds of hatred, and discover where love goes to hide.

I really enjoyed this book. It was hard at first to separate the Narrator's settings, however once you start getting into it it gets deep and she really takes you back into that time.

I really enjoyed this book.

Simply beautiful story of history and family and memories.

A young reporter's life takes a detour as she is sent to look after her elderly relative in an old house that has been in the family for centuries.

The author seamlessly blends three histories into one compelling story that is full of surprises, turns, and surprisingly poignant moments.

The narration is unobtrusive and smooth, and the author deals with terrifying and tragic events with a light and honest hand.

Definitely recommend!

So beautiful: rich and haunting story

May I just say every person in our “United” States of America should read and enjoy this amazing story… it covers so many facets, emotions. The human side I hope that is in all of us… I won’t say more than it’s a must and was a most enjoyable read not to be passed up.

I never leave a written review
