About this listen

Early one morning in 1929, Mary Seneca Steele spontaneously packs a suitcase, gathers up her son and daughter, and drives away in her abusive and dissolute husband’s brand-new Auburn Phaeton automobile, leaving her privileged life in Charleston behind. It is the beginning of a journey of enlightenment that leads Mary “Sen” to the mountains and mysteries of Appalachia, where she will learn unexpected family secrets, create a new life for herself and her children, and finally experience love and happiness before tragedy will once again test her.

A Pulitzer Prize-nominated author, Dot Jackson has spun a story that will captivate listeners looking for an entertaining saga of self-discovery, family, love, loss, and redemption.

This was such a beautiful book, and the reader was so perfect for it. I don’t think I’d have enjoyed the book as much if I’d read it vs the audiobook. The accent was just right and absolutely made the book, without it so much would’ve been lost. I went to sleep thinking about this story and woke up thinking about it. I’m so sad it’s finished

Most beautiful story read exquisitely
