About this listen

What if you discover everything you believed to be true about yourself has been a lie?

Stunned by news of an impending redundancy and impelled by the magic of a long-forgotten sand dollar, widow Jenny Sullivan retreats to her godmother in Oregon to consider her future. What she doesn't bargain for is to uncover the secret of her adoption at birth and her Native American heritage. This revelation sees her embark on a journey of self-discovery such as she'd never envisaged.

Moving between Australia's Sunshine Coast and the Oregon Coast, The Sand Dollar is a story of new beginnings, of a woman whose life is suddenly turned upside down, and the reclusive man who helps her solve the puzzle of her past.

I enjoyed the story, light listening experience. The narration was good but it was disappointing not to hear the Australian accent attempted which led to all of them sounding American. A good listen though and keeps the reader’s attention.

Nice story

Jenny heads to the States to visit with her God Mother, Maddie, while thinking about her life and her job.

Things take a turn for the worst when Maddie takes a fall and gets injured. While cleaning out Maddie’s attic, she stumbles upon a case full of old letters from her mother.

After reading the first letter, Jenny discovers that she was actually adopted as a baby. So she sets out to find out the truth about her birth parents and what happened to them.

With the help of Mike, Maddie’s neighbour, Jenny learns about her parents, the cause of there untimely deaths and learns about how and why she was adopted. She also starts developing strong feelings for Mike.

Love the book, and I was super excited with the ending. I look forward to starting book two in the series very soon.
