About this listen

Betty Sweet never expected to be a widow at 40. With so much life still in front of her, she tries to figure out what's next. She couldn't have imagined what God had in mind. When her estranged sister is committed to a sanitarium, Betty finds herself taking on the care of a 5-year-old nephew she never knew she had.

In 1960s LaFontaine, Michigan, they make an odd pair. Betty with her pink button nose and bouffant hair. Hugo with his light brown skin and large brown eyes. But more powerful than what makes them different is what they share: the heartache of an empty space in their lives. Slowly, they will learn to trust one another as they discover common ground and healing through the magic of storytelling.

Award-winning author Susie Finkbeiner offers fans a novel that invites us to rediscover the power of story to open the doors of our hearts.

Please! Don’t let it end!!!! I have no pearls to clutch!!!! I don’t even have a hanky!

I loved this book so much!! The story was fabulous as I knew it would be. The author is a favourite. Tavia Gilbert’s performance on this audio book was magical — as always.

I was transported into the book by the writing and the performance of the narrator immediately. It held me at rapt attention throughout. I teared up about 18 times and giggled many times as well. Absolutely super- fantabulous!!! Couldn’t recommend it enough!!
