À propos de cet audio
An Amazon Charts, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post bestseller, and a Goodreads Choice Award finalist.
In this gorgeously stunning debut, a mysterious child teaches two strangers how to love and trust again.
After the loss of her mother and her own battle with breast cancer, Joanna Teale returns to her graduate research on nesting birds in rural Illinois, determined to prove that her recent hardships have not broken her. She throws herself into her work from dusk to dawn, until her solitary routine is disrupted by the appearance of a mysterious child who shows up at her cabin barefoot and covered in bruises.
The girl calls herself Ursa, and she claims to have been sent from the stars to witness five miracles. With concerns about the child’s home situation, Jo reluctantly agrees to let her stay - just until she learns more about Ursa’s past.
Jo enlists the help of her reclusive neighbor, Gabriel Nash, to solve the mystery of the charming child. But the more time they spend together, the more questions they have. How does a young girl not only read but understand Shakespeare? Why do good things keep happening in her presence? And why aren’t Jo and Gabe checking the missing children’s website anymore?
Though the three have formed an incredible bond, they know difficult choices must be made. As the summer nears an end and Ursa gets closer to her fifth miracle, her dangerous past closes in. When it finally catches up to them, all of their painful secrets will be forced into the open, and their fates will be left to the stars.

A Warm Story with Warm Narration
I really enjoyed this story and I let it unfold for me, without thinking too deeply. I look forward to reading/listening to more from this author. She managed to weave together some pretty intense and emotional situations, while conveying strength, courage, hope, resilience, and unconditional love.
I was a bit ticked at another reviewer for pointing out the "he said" "she said" bit, when I started noticing it about midway through the book. But once it starts, its hard to overlook and, perhaps, its best to prepare other listeners. I feel that I should also say something. I doesn't start until midway through the book, so I believe the author and editor could have avoided this almost entirely. At first I thought that if that reviewer hadn't have pointed it out, I wouldn't have noticed, but I would have. I've listened to other books where this hasn't been as apparent, so it can be done. This book is worth the listen, regardless, and I would recommend this book.

Loved this story!
I loved so much the focus on healing from various types of trauma rather than the trauma itself. And the Nature and the cats! This story spoke to me. Truly beautiful. Thank you Glendy, I look forward to more of your work.

Distracted by performance
I struggled to finish this due to the performance. The whininess of the girl's voice was grating and the adult voices felt unnatural. It completely pulled me out of the story.

Amazing
Loved every minute of it! I really believed she was an alien as it was so well written and narrated! I listen on the way to and from work and I caught myself sitting in the car several times, unable to stop listening to the story. One of my favourites!

Great book
The story of this book is not a sci-fi like I'd hoped, but instead is more of a family drama and also romance. it's fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a tear jerker, because I think this one would definitely fit the bill. The only thing I disliked was that the narrator didn't really do much accent on the characters' ways of speaking, even though in the story it is mentioned multiple times. The accents get mentioned, she brings on the accents for a bit, and then it's like they get forgotten, but you can still tell who is each character, it just takes you out of the story a little of you focus too much on it.

I loved this book. Sweet, tender, evocative. Just a pleasure to listen to—Lauren Ezzo did an amazing job of the narration.
I miss the characters, I miss Lauren’s voice.

Beautiful
I listened to this book because I thought this was Science Fiction or Fantasy. It isn't. It was 5 star wonderful despite not being what I wanted. The narrator was perfect.
