About this listen

Ray McKenna returns from the war in Iraq to find that she had attained unwanted celebrity status back home. As the only surviving American soldier of a well-publicized hostage crisis, she is the center of attention at a time when all she wants is solitude. Struggling to overcome the fear and anxiety that plague her, she relies on her psychiatric therapy dog Jagger to help her through the vicious symptoms of PTSD. Veterinarian Dr. Carly Warner hasn't yet figured out how to open her heart to the possibility of falling in love again after the death of her longtime partner. When Ray McKenna walks into the North Coast Veterinary Clinic with Jagger, she and Carly begin a friendship that takes them both by surprise. Brought together by their shared love of dogs, Ray and Carly discover that they are both capable of moving forward, if only they are brave enough to try.

Another great story by Meghan O’Brian sadly the quality of the audio was not good

Great story

A moving story with great psychological insight. However, the writing, especially the dialogue, rarely achieves level as the story line.
It is such a shame but this audiobook is completely spoiled by poor narration. I slowed the narration speed down a bit, which helped, but Amanda Goodyear is not a good reader, plus her voice and style are not suited to this story which requires sensitivity. Thankfully, her narration does improve a little as the story progresses.
The production values of this audiobook are poor; they include varying sound levels and background noises.

Brilliant story, shame about the narrator

This is one of my favourite books ever but I have to say the narration was not the best.
I persevered because I love the story so much and I guess I did get used to the narration after a while but it was nasally and annoying. I’m still glad I listened to it though on Audible. But unfortunately, this wasn’t one of the best narrations I’ve listened to.

Love this story.

I preserved with this book for the sake of the story which I really enjoyed.

However the quality of the narration was terrible, you could hear where the edits had been spliced in and the volume levels kept jumping up and down. I also found that the narrator’s narration voice was a very nasally American accent, her character voices were fine.

Loved the story, narration was awful
