About this listen

Close Enough to Perfect is the heartwarming and heartbreaking story of Chris and Al Noyes, married for 28 years until tragedy hit on a commercial airline flight. The story speaks of soul mates, happy places, mental illness, adventure, and sorrow. A true story of love, grief, resilience, and spirit told with brutal honesty and emotion.

Author Christine Noyes has chosen to share a very personal and private journey with her audience, and this memoir does it in such a beautifully penned way that it feels like the listener is a party to the story from a very close friend indeed. The content itself is beautiful and heartfelt, allowing us into Christine’s highs and lows so that we may discover and relate on our own level to each instance. What results is a sometimes bittersweet but always grateful recollection of working hard together to achieve happiness and success.

Told with deep emotion and a splash of bourbon.
