About this listen
Grieving over the loss of her family and feeling like her life is unraveling, Lindsey McDermott quits her job, gets a puppy, and retreats to her grandparents' home in the Texas Hill Country. She spends her solitary days walking childhood trails and reminiscing, trying to reconcile the conflict within her as she struggles with survivor's guilt.
After the death of her husband, Hannah Larson needs a change. At the suggestion of her mother-in-law - and against her better judgment - she and her son Jack move to tiny Utopia and into her husband's grandmother's house.
When Jack and Lindsey form an unlikely friendship, Hannah reluctantly joins them and the three spend the summer swimming and healing as laughter eventually replaces tears. After Jack goes back to school, Hannah assumes their summer fun is over. Instead, Lindsey continues to come around and now - as they find themselves alone - Hannah realizes just how close they've become. Soon, she finds herself struggling with her feelings as their friendship threatens to shift into something much deeper...something she fears she won't be able to fight. Something she fears she won't want to fight.
A story of grief and healing...a story of love.

The story starts with a unlikely friendship between a grieving boy called Jack that’s 9 years old who has just moved into the area with his mum after the loss of his dad, who died of a brain tumour.
Lyndsey has suffered her own losses and is grieving after losing her whole family in an accident.
Jack’s mother Hannah who is grieving too, is trying to get the house sorted for them, she is lonely and is worried about her son Jack after he said he made a friend, she’s worried he is making up an imaginary friend.
Then Hannah meets Lyndsey and they spend a lot of time together as the three of them become friends and grieve and support each other.
Hannah and Lyndsey aren’t looking for love but it finds them.
It’s a slow burn romance.
The story is from both point of views.
The story is well written and amazing narrating as always with Abby Craden.

Straight woman with son,meets lesbian, both overcoming great loss.
Didn’t want it to end, as I really liked the two main characters, healing emotional wounds, finding each other.
It’s also about overcoming grief and loss. The other main character is a nine year old boy, son of one, who plays a pivotal role in the story.
It’s all quite moving, and fun and a slow burn, you’ll enjoy if you like a gentle , character driven love story.
Very well read by Abbi Craden, best lesfic narrator, imho.
