Summary
Nina McCarrick has it all: a loving husband, two beautiful boys, a well-appointed home and more time than she knows what to do with. Life is perfect. Until her husband, Finn, is killed in a car accident and everything Nina thought she could rely on unravels.
Alone, bereft and faced with a mountain of debt, Nina quickly loses her life of luxury and she begins to question whether she ever really knew the man she married. Forced to move out of her family home, Nina returns to the rundown Southampton council estate - and the sister - she thought she had left far behind.
But Nina can't let herself be overwhelmed - her boys need her. To save them, and herself, she will have to do what her husband discouraged for so long: pursue a career of her own. Torn between the life she thought she knew and the reality she now faces, Nina finally must learn what it means to take control of her life.
Bestselling author Amanda Prowse once again plumbs the depths of human experience in this stirring and empowering tale of one woman's loss and love.

Excellent
It was a beautiful story and as always it was narrated by Amanda herself which makes it as she has a lovely voice . I am buying all hurt books as she is one of the only authors I know who narrates her own work and it absolutely makes it come to life .

Unrealistic story line
Although the premise is a good one of a life gone wrong, I do find it frustrating that is us so unrealistic that in this day and age a woman and 2 children are forced into a situation where they have no help. While Nina is admirable in looking for work there is no mention of her looking for financial support through the benefits system! Surely she would getting child allowance at least! Let alone widow‘s pension and job seekers allowance. Makes the story feel very distant from present day! And I’m sure she could have at least got bar work!

Listen to this- you won’t regret it
Excellent, thought provoking, heart warming story. Loved the narration- Amanda has a lovely voice. Great characters that you can relate to and that are believable. Excellent storyline. You won’t want to finish this, I didn’t. So very well written, thoroughly enjoyable. I have already recommended this book to several people,

Fabulous
Every one of her books is better than the one before. This one was undoubtedly my favourite. I couldn't put it down. She has become my favourite author and her narration is superb. The beginning is so sad but the ending is a triumph over adversity.

Sad but true
Easy to listen to, highly enjoyable and a few home truths. Stuff is just that - stuff. Good story, not quite as good as some of her others but enjoyable none the less.

Oh, Amanda!
I love her books, but she really needs to stop being so self indulgent and let a decent narrator voice her work. That random whispering voice made me want to throw my phone at the wall and ruined what was actually brilliant story.

Disappointing throughout
Unfortunately this was another whiny by Amanda just like the one before. Sad, constant misery with no real kick to the story except more whining.

List of life lesson
I had high hopes for this book and the first third maybe even half was good & interest. The rest of the book however, was just a list of life lessons to be learnt and take note of. It wasn’t really like listening to a book anymore, just lists that had been dragged out because the author wants you to learn a lesson, heed a warning and take notice of what’s good in life for you to cherish. It was just one after another after another. Also quite weird after a while to hear every word read in full. Always saying you are and never you’re, etc. Even posh people don’t speak like that all of the time. It just didn’t seem natural.

Thought provoking
I’ve never read or listened to one of Amanda Prowse’s stories before. So didn’t know what to expect. Not a genre I usually go for. Was pleasantly surprised by the story and journey. Will definitely go for another of her books.
