    About this audiobook

    Hailed as “a heartwarming story” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis), a celebration of what matters most in life, Barbara Delinsky’s profoundly moving New York Times bestseller is as richly textured and captivating as the Northern California landscape in which it is set.

    Jack McGill chose his architectural career over his family, and returned home from yet another business trip to find that his wife, Rachel, had left him. Now, six years later, a car accident has left Rachel clinging to life, and she and their two daughters desperately need him. Putting work on hold for the first time in his life, Jack decides to sit by his ex-wife's bedside. As he meets Rachel's many new friends, and tries to cope with two teenage daughters and their problems, he learns more about a woman he never really knew, her expressive art, and the secret that made her leave. Much to his astonishment, Jack begins to see Rachel, his daughters, and the story of his marriage with new eyes.

    • 4/5
      Really enjoyed this book. Story of forgiveness, commitment and self-awareness.
    • 4/5
      Poignant story of Jack McGill at a crossroads in his life, as he struggles to keep a daily vigil at the hospital bedside of his comatose ex wife. Aside that, he has to rebuild the trust of his teenage daughters, and learning new things about Rachel, through her friends, that he never knew before. Very heartfelt, inspiring and uplifting.
