About this listen

 Celeste English and Ronnie Frazier are sisters, but they couldn't be more different. Celeste is a doctor's wife, living a perfect and elegant façade. But secretly, her marriage is falling apart and her need to control people around her threatens to destroy them all. Ronnie is an actress, living in New York. But she has no money, she has no home, and her life is held together by "chewing gum, paper clips, and spit." When their father dies, the sisters inherit a house in Prosper, North Carolina. Their mother, Della, would rather they forget about going there and dredging up the past. Neither of them suspect that their trip to Prosper will uncover decades-old secrets, family betrayals, and tangled relationships - or that it will make these two strangers realize that they are, and always will be, sisters.©2004 Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant (P)2004 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Fantastic, Great story-line.

A real page turner. The story draws you in.

She reads well. Wasn't always sure which character was speaking at times, but a very small issue.

It's sad in places and had to get to the end to find out what was going on but I couldn't put it down.
