A wonderful story of women blooming through the darkest nights

Molly has a wonderful style of writing that draws you in without have you had to descriptions or introspective word play. Real and raw, yet buoyed up with hope, this is a story about three generations of women in search of sanctuary, who find it both in themselves and in each other, as well as in the community they find themselves in. Love the rural setting and delightfully eclectic characters. Nicely done, Ms. Fader. And Nancy Peterson does a fantastic job of bringing this story off the page - as always.

Really Enjoyed It

Liked this book, was looking for more by the author but I see she writes mostly romance. Hope there is more women's fiction from her. Great characters, plot created tension. Well narrated.

Great Read

The Bitter and Sweet of Cherry Season was a great read by Molly Fader. Hope only knows of the Orchard House. That is the only place that Hope knows might keep her and her ten year old daughter safe at the moment. Hope is met with the aunt she never met and the barrel of her shotgun. Peg, Hope’s aunt, has always lived in the Orchard House. She and Hope agree that they’ll stay there if Hope and her daughter help with the next cherry season. She meets Abel, who is Peg’s neighbor that helps with the harvests. Unfortunately Hope is hiding something important and her past starts to catch up to her. I really enjoyed Hope’s story and cant wait to read more by Molly Fader.

Secrets can be a terrible thing!

Hope takes her daughter to the only family they have left after leaving her abusive partner. She doesn't plan to stay long, just a couple of days,but home and family have a pull on her even if it is a home she doesn't remember. While she has her secrets, she discovers that her Aunt Peg has secrets also. Secrets have a way of changing your life and not staying buried.
This is the first book of Molly Fader's I have listened to, but I hope to read more!

Very slow moving and little plot

There are a lot of great reviews for this book - for me it was slow and very little tension in the plot to keep me going. I found myself easily getting distracted - the opposite of what I look for in an audio book. The pacing didn't work for me and the resolution of the "mystery" mentioned in the beginning of the book seemed obvious early on. There were better parts where it picked up and I was more engaged but then it went back to feeling tedious to get through. The voice used for the daughter also grated on me. I struggled to finish.

So, so good!

I loved this book so much, but the narrator is the Best! I’m going now to look for more books read by her!
