About this listen

What would you sacrifice to find true happiness?

Terry Boyle is your typical small-town guy. Friendly, kind to strangers, a devoted husband and father. A gentle soul quietly moving through life. But still waters run deep, and Terry’s inner turmoil derives from a secret that he can’t share with anyone.

As fate would have it, Terry’s guarded world is turned upside down the day he walks into a hardware store and meets Renee Patrick, a free-spirited beauty who is as tough as the nails she sells from her family business. Unfiltered and unapologetic about her questionable lifestyle, Renee ignites a spark deep inside Terry.

As these two lost souls embark on an unlikely relationship, they are both forced to face secrets they have long kept hidden in order to survive. Now, each of them must decide if they will risk completely destroying their fragile existence in a last attempt to find true happiness.

Basically I downloaded this story as I’ve become a devoted Jeff Harding fan and he doesn’t disappoint. Once again a terrific job with the narration. While this is not the usual type of story I would purchase, I enjoyed the story and characters but I almost lost my passion with this twist towards the end. Fortunately the writer recovered well and on reflection, the change in direction and resulting conclusion produced a great ending.
