About this listen
From USA Today best-selling author Emilie Richards comes an emotional story about love, loyalty, and the deep bonds of sisterhood.
While love and loyalty made them sisters, secrets could still destroy them.
As children in foster care, Cecilia and Robin vowed they would be the sisters they had never had. Cecelia, now a superstar singer-songwriter, is living life on the edge. Robin set aside her career as a successful photojournalist to create the loving family she always yearned for. But gazing through a wide-angle lens at both past and future, she sees that her marriage is disintegrating. Her attorney husband is rarely home. She and the children need Kris' love and attention, but does Kris need them?
For Cecilia, a lifetime of lies has finally caught up with her, and she wants a chance to tell the real story of their childhood and free herself from the nightmares that still haunt her. When she asks Robin to be the still photographer for a documentary on foster care, Robin agrees, even though Kris will be forced to take charge for the months she's away. She gambles that he'll prove to them both that their children - and their marriage - are a priority in his life.
As the documentary unfolds, memories will be tested and the meaning of family redefined, but the love two young girls forged into bonds of sisterhood will help them move forward as the women they were always meant to be.
©2016 Emilie Richards (P)2016 Blackstone Audio, Inc.Unfortunately this audiobook was virtually spoiled for me by the narrator who read the Robin chapters. This lady, Karen, has a reluctant, hesitant, jerky voice which left me longing for the other 2 narrators and even skipping through her chapters. A reader needs to enliven a story, to enhance it and bring it alive!Karen speaks a bit like a disappointed robot, with only 3 or 4 variations of inflection. This kills interest in the content of the story and even made me start to dislike Robin. She makes even happy passages sound dissatisfied and sarcastic. There's absolutely zero enthusiasm, no matter what's happening in the story!
It was so distracting that I actually had to keep giving myself a break from it by reading other books. It actually severed me from engaging with the story. Each word is separated like beads on a knotted string. The sentences act like train carriages being jerked along and banging into each other by a sulky toddler pulling them along on a string. It's as if she really dislikes the book and the characters, and her feelings are evident in the tone of her voice. She also reads every character's "voice" in exactly the same way, with no differentiation of personality, tone, accent or characterisation. It all sounds so reluctant and grudging.
I now check every audio book first to make sure it's not being read by this woman.
Great story, irritating narration!!
