About this listen

Grenadine Scotch Wild has only vague memories of the parents she last saw when she was six years old. But she's never forgotten their final, panicked words to her, urging Grenadine to run. The mystery of their disappearance is just one more frayed strand in a life that has lately begun to unravel completely. One year into her rocky marriage to Covey, a well-known investor, he is arrested for fraud and embezzlement. And Grenadine, now a successful collage artist and painter, is facing jail time despite her innocence.

With Covey refusing to exonerate her unless she comes back to him, Grenadine once again takes the advice given to her so long ago: she runs. Hiding out in a mountain town in central Oregon until the trial, she finds work as a bartender and as assistant to a furniture maker who is busy rebuilding his own life. But even far from everything she knew, Grenadine is granted a rare chance, as potentially liberating as it is terrifying - to face down her past, her fears, and live a life as beautiful and colorful as one of her paintings.

Glad I stuck with it despite, at times, feeling it was too long. Though I wasn’t totally gripped and desperate to hear what was happening next I found I wanted to keep going, the main character was so likeable and real and I really wanted to know how things turned out for her. The book follows her life story from the age of 6yrs, it avoids becoming a tedious biography by moving back and forth between a few periods in her life. The side characters were great and made me chuckle throughout. Well deserved 5 stars for the narration too. I’ve listened to a couple of Cathy Lamb’s book and they’ve made me want to stop and savour them before listening to another book. I’d really recommend this one.
