Great story. Great narration.

I wasn’t expecting to be enamored with this story. I picked the first book up on a bit of a whim. The first book was good, but I kept listening because I can relate to Micky. Like Micky, I would do almost anything to protect a younger sibling.

Life in a small town can be frustrating when everyone thinks they know you based on who your family is or what you did as a kid. Every little idiosyncracy you have is analyzed and judged. C F White does a wonderful job of showing how a small town community can be both a hindrance and helpful.

Dan and Micky have some very rocky moments in this story, but the connection between them is growing strong. Both Micky and Dan are gaining personal strength from their evolving relationship.

The narrator was spectacular. Piers Ryman does a wonderful job of creating voices that match the personality of the characters.

I am struggling to express how much this book impacted me. I shed more than a few tears. I listened to this book first, but I will also be reading just to experience the story again.
