À propos de cet audio

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK
A USA TODAY BESTSELLER

#1 New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb, celebrated for two prior Oprah Book Club selections, returns with an exceptional third pick, a propulsive novel following a young father grappling with unbearable tragedy as he searches for hope, redemption, and the possibility of forgiveness.

Corby Ledbetter is struggling. New fatherhood, the loss of his job, and a growing secret addiction have thrown his marriage to his beloved Emily into a tailspin. And that’s before he causes the tragedy that tears the family apart. Sentenced to prison, Corby struggles to survive life on the inside, where he bears witness to frightful acts of brutality but also experiences small acts of kindness and elemental kinship with a prison librarian who sees his light and some of his fellow offenders, including a tender-hearted cellmate and a troubled teen desperate for a role model. Buoyed by them and by his mother’s enduring faith in him, Corby begins to transcend the boundaries of his confinement, sustained by his hope that mercy and reconciliation might still be possible. Can his crimes ever be forgiven by those he loves?

Heartbreaking story about addiction, recovery and just how hard life can be. I was so engaged, wanting to know the journey and the outcome. Narration was great. Listen to this book!

Unbelievably good read

It was a tragic tale and just depressing to listen to. This will not lift you up. I also found the chapter on the release from prison chapter inaccurate.

Just a sad book.

Every turn brings a new perspective. There is no black and white rule or punishment that fits the situations the main character finds himself in.

Quietly Epic

This is a decent story. I can see other people really enjoying it but for me, it was kind of meh. Theres nothing bad about it and I think it tells a unique perspective that’s often overlooked but it didn’t blow me away. It’s not something I’d go out of my way to recommend but I’m glad I gave it a listen.

A decent story
