About this listen

Another Life is a powerful, moving and hopeful story of the life-changing impact of the connections we form, by the bestselling author of The Four Winds and The Women, Kristin Hannah.

Angie DeSaria has spent years of her life trying to have a child. Now, her marriage has crumbled under the strain. Adrift and alone, she returns to her childhood home, a small coastal town in the Pacific Northwest, to help try and rescue the beloved, failing family business.

Lauren Ribido is a senior in high school. She dreams of an Ivy League education, escaping her hometown and her troubled mother.

When Angie hires Lauren to work at the restaurant, they form an immediate bond, which deepens when Lauren’s mother abruptly leaves town and Angie offers her a place to stay. But nothing could have prepared Angie for the far-reaching repercussions of this act of kindness. Together, these two women – one who longs for a child and the other who longs for a mother’s love – will be tested in ways that neither could have imagined.

Really lovely although heart-wrenching (at times) and wonderfully narrated. If I had written this I would have made a few different decisions, I won't say any more than that! But really enjoyed it, thank you.

I love KH books and this is one of her simpler and cute stories.
Has some gritty topics (baby death, miscarriage, fertility and adoption) but they are handled well and written honestly.
The story was predictable but easy as the characters are likeable.
The narrator was excellent!

Cute story, not too deep.
