Story
Joan has always done the right thing, both as a palliative care doctor and as a caregiver for her widowed mother, Sheila. Joan’s adventurous sister, Vivien, is a different story. She left home as soon as she was able—running from an insecure childhood troubled by an alcoholic father and a mother who constantly threw away all their possessions in order to buy new ones. Vivien’s rarely been back, working as a nurse in the world’s trouble zones, leaving the heavy burden of family on her sister. Still, when Vivien learns that their mother is seriously ill, she reaches out to Joan.

Franciszka and her daughter, Helena, are simple, ordinary people until 1939, when the Nazis invade their homeland.

In their tiny home in Sokal, they hide a Jewish family in a loft above their pigsty, a Jewish doctor with his wife and son in a makeshift cellar under the kitchen, and a defecting German soldier in the attic - each party completely unknown to the others.

Robotic narration, could not finish
The narration is terrible. Robotic and stumbling. I tried to slug it out but the storyline wasn't worth it. All the hype about this book was nonsense. it's just an overwrought Harlequin.

LOVED IT!
Oh my goodness, this was so good but it was also very sad. I loved going with John and Carol on the journey to fulfill the promise they made concerning their daughter. If it had been me, I would have wanted each of us to do it on our own but since John was sick I would have done it with him like Carol did, no matter what my feelings about him were. I knew the reason why they made the promise but finding out the details of what happened took quite a way into the book.
The trip they took was very interesting, lots of stops in different states and even one stop that really surprised me. In the end Carol realized that not all the things that made her resent John were his fault, some of them were hers.
Even though this book is such a sad story, there are also some uplifting moments and even a few that are funny.
The narrator did a good job and made this a very easy book to listen to.
This is the first book by this author that I’ve read but I’m patiently waiting for the audio of book #2 in this series, A Life Without Flowers which is expected to be released on September 29th of this year.

High Expectations
.....that were well met! I’d waited for this book to come on Audible, and grabbed it as soon as I saw it. Well narrated, well written. While I’m not one to cry, this book was successful in bringing the tears. Nevertheless, a sad, haunting, but very sweet story!

It could be made into a bad soap opera episode. Week plot. Poor storyline. Empty characters. Trite.
