Publisher's Summary

Everything she lost: If her abusive husband hadn't tried to kill her and her beloved dog Lucie, Helen Ward might never have left her million-dollar home and run far away. Now Helen's changed her identity and moved across the country, hopeful that she can be safe, happy, maybe even loved. And when she meets college professor Sam Tolliver, she begins to believe fairytales do come true.

Gave her everything she ever wanted: But even with love blossoming and her new online business venture taking off, Helen knows that the past is catching up with her...and her fear is growing. Wanting to flee, desperate to get away for good, she'll soon face the biggest decision of her life, a decision that will determine her future and her very identity.

What I would wish for -everyone has something

Loved it
Performance would have been better with 2 voices as the reader would sometimes be Helen but sound like one of the man's voices she did. All in all enjoyed it

A Lively Story of Heartache and Love

I loved the story of Helen’s journey to find herself and found so much more. The narrator was wonderful and read the book with emotion and interpretation.

Fern Michaels takes the reader/listener on a journey of mystery, danger and love. She tells the story in such depth that you are swept into the lives of the characters and feel their emotions and pain.

I recommend this book. ❤️

Great read!

Narration was great. Story was really touching and heartbreaking all in one. Loved how dogs were such a priority in this story. Being an avid animal lover myself. It was heartwarming and also sad and disturbing. I highly recommend.

defonately worth a listen

This audio book was captivating from the moment it started, I love listening or reading anything by fern Michael's. The narrator did a great job at helping you invision intense or soft moments bringing you into the book. I would suggest a trigger warning for anyone that has struggled through abuse or domestic violence though but for those who are in a similar situation I hope this gives you guidance strength and the courage to never settle and that there is more the one person willing to help.

What You Wish For

The story was a good story. It started slow but got better.

My only complaint is the narrator. She read the story very well. It’s about a 28 yr old woman and a 35 year old man. The narrator is definitely not of the same era. Had the characters been in their 50’s and 60’s the choice of narrator would have made sense.

Terrible narrator's voice.

Great story. It'll still going in the beginning, but very gripping. Keeps the reader wanting to listen even though the narrator's voice was extremely hard to listen to. She sounded like she had to clear her throat. Or she had just smoked 2 packs of cigarettes. It was a very gurgly unpleasant narration.
