About this listen

LaVyrle Spencer, known for her "heartrending slices of Americana", writes of how love can be more special the second time around in this New York Times best seller.

It is 1916, and Roberta Jewett is surprised to find that her hometown of Camden, Maine, considers a divorced woman little more than a prostitute. Condemned by her mother and scorned by neighbors, she nonetheless perseveres in her struggle to forge a good life for her girls and herself. Behaving like no "respectable" woman would, she gets a job as a county nurse, learns to drive, and buys her very own Model T.

Embittered by her painful marriage to an unfaithful husband, she has no intention of being any man's victim again. So Roberta is taken aback to find the widowed carpenter Gabriel Farley has somehow found his way into her heart. And in the ultimate test of will and devotion, she must depend on the man she has grown to love - and summon the courage to stand up to an entire town.

Well written and good story. Not complicated and very good insight into family dysfunction and strength winning over bitterness.
