Summary

Twelve women connected by the death of another, realizing what they most want from life and reaching for it - this is the year of discovery, the year of new beginnings.

Madelyn Yates dreamed of opening her own bed-and-breakfast, but as the middle daughter, she found herself trying to hold everything together for her family, until her sister dies. Meredith’s death throws everyone in the family into turmoil, but as always, Madelyn ignores her own needs to care for them.

A gift from beyond the grave changes that, and Madelyn finds herself thinking she just might heed her dying sister’s wish to “live the dream”.

Amazing

This is an amazing audio book. The storyline is really dramatic and heart rending with an awesome ending.
I highly recommend this audio book. And Kelly really is an excellent narrator. I can not get enough of ml. Hamilton’s books.
Awesome.

To play in the snow.

After the death of her father, Maddy had stopped being the outward looking imaginative adventurer who would open up exciting worlds for herself and her big siste, Meredith. Instead, her whole focus turned to protecting her remaining family. Unlike both of her sisters she stayed home instead of going to college and worked as a waitress in a bar. Now her older sister is dead, too, leaving two little children and husband, Henry. Maddy hadn't been able to protect her from cancer.
Then a letter from Meredith turns Maddy's life up-side-down.Sent

Well written,, with emotional impact, if rather too fairytale overall, the emptiness of bereavement is well captured together with the feelings of failure that can follow.. Narration by Kelley Haden was excellent, her reading mirroring the sentiments of the text and her voicing of all of the protagonists appropriate and well performed very much enhancing the story experience.

The story is short but a lot of emotion is packed into this book. Perhaps not overly realistic but this does offer hope of new life for those left behind by a loved one. Good for younger readers.
