About this listen

Three siblings, reunited in their home town, are struggling to deal with the fallout of a car crash that almost killed their father. This, on top of everything else life is throwing at them.

Josh is trying to save his marriage and hard-won TV career in the wake of a painfully public sexual harassment scandal. But is he really as innocent as he says?

Jac, perennially single, is getting married—unbeknownst to her family. But will the private war she's been waging since leaving the town sabotage this relationship, too?

Dane, ever honest and dependable, is running the family business while their father is in hospital. But not everything is above board. Can he look the other way for his dad's sake?

A mysterious list of names. Long-buried family secrets. Old, festering wounds.

What will happen when everything buried is dragged to the surface?

This was a great read which tackled many issues that ordinary families face. No need for extreme circumstances here, just true-to-life people facing difficult circumstances, that challenge and change them. I loved the narrator’s voice, and I’m not sure it it’s just me, but it sounded like he mis-gendered characters quite a bit (saying ‘he’ when it should have been ‘she’.) Maybe it was the editing, or just my old ears !

Powerful family drama

I enjoyed it but it sometimes felt like a mental health advertisement or something like that. Reader didn’t have much inflection.

Good but a bit preachy
