About this listen

Jackie loves her family. Sure, her teenage children can be stroppy. Her husband a little lazy. And providing round-the-clock care for her Alzheimer's-ridden mother is exhausting. All Jackie wants is for her children to have brighter futures than she did. So long as Martha, the eldest, gets into university and follows her dreams, all her sacrifice will be worth something...won't it?

This is a tale about Jacks, she had dreams and wanted to travel with the man of her dreams. She romanticised it all in her head and life did not turn out as she would have hoped for.

In reality she had two children who she is living the life that she wants through them. How will that work out?

The man she married was a lad from school who she saw as a mate, why? Life is not working out how she wanted. With her beloved father now passed on she is left with caring for her cold mum who has dementia, she was never warm towards Jacks and treated her Dad harshly, why?

The story flips & flops between the past & present and in time we get to see the reasons behind Jacks resentments and disappointments when a blast from the past appears and she is in a dilemma when history looks like it is about to repeat itself and Jacks feels like her husband has no ambition and seems to be happy with life with their crappy life and house etc the list is endless. She is juggling everything and the bitterness she feels almost swallows her whole.

This blast from the past means that there may be a glimmer of a new life.

Which path will she take? Will she open her eyes and see what is right in front of her?…..

The ending although I enjoyed it jumps five years ahead in the future and so much was crammed in…. But overall a great read with emotions all over the place.

*Dream*

Loved the Narrator, her accent made the story all the more believable. Story was heartfelt and so true to life with all the families ups and downs. Felt I could relate to the characters and they were all likeable in their own way and all brought the story together so well. They got there in the end and there was the happy ending I had been waiting for. Would recommend to friends and family.

Lovely story

I really enjoyed the audio version of this book. This really makes the story come to life. As usual, Amanda has a strong woman as the main character. Moreover I loved the Ida story line and the secrets in family.
Amanda draws you in with her hypnotic voice and she switches very easily from character to character .
deliously funny and also emotional in parts. Again nearly had me in tears with the Ida and and her daughter's melt down.
Definitely hits the heart strings

delious read and evoked all my emotions

The book is very well performed. In the beginning I wasn’t quite sure what to think of the story but it turned out so beautifully! Made me think how thankful we should be and that life is more than just money and appearance.

A beautiful touching story
