Life's biggest dilemmas can provide its sweetest rewards
Anna McNichol knows how to take charge. Raised by a single mother, she's worked to ensure her three children have every advantage she didn't. And while her marriage has its problems, she values commitment and believes in "till death do us part." Now an empty nester, she's at the peak of her career and ready to seize the opportunity to focus on her future.
But life can change in an instant, and when her husband dies suddenly, Anna's carefully constructed world falls apart. The mysterious young woman at the memorial service confirms her husband had been keeping secrets, and Anna is determined to get to the truth.
For once, she doesn't have the answers. Her kids are struggling with their grief, her mother's health is in decline and Anna needs closure. Faced with one challenge after another, she finds support from an unexpected source. And as she puts her life back together, Anna realizes the McNichols may not be perfect but they'll always be family, and family is forever.

        In Carr's (The View from Alameda Island; "Virgin River" series) stand-alone novel, 57-year-old Anna McNichol's husband dies suddenly while white water rafting, and the professional working mother (she's a successful lawyer and judge) is struggling. His life was a continuous cycle of midlife crises (even though he was a professional counselor), and she was going to divorce him after that last trip. Now Anna is planning his funeral and finding out his secrets that have been hidden for years. Meanwhile her mother's dementia is worsening, and her three grown children are floundering too as they deal with their father's death. With the support of family friends, each other, and the occasional therapy session, Anna and her family grow stronger together, while growing in numbers, too. Th�r�se Plummer's seamless narration never distracts, and she handles the different tones of many characters expertly. She skillfully voices tension, tears, and stress, but also manages to build a steamy atmosphere during the occasional sex scene. The audio production is flawless. VERDICT Recommend to relationship fiction fans, as well as devotees of the narrator.--Sarah Hill
