Stirring audiobooks guaranteed to make you cry

Stirring audiobooks guaranteed to make you cry

This post was originally published on Audible.com.

When life gets overwhelming, there’s nothing I find more comforting than losing myself in an emotional listen and having a good cry. Whether a novel or a memoir, listens that make you cry are always a good thing: it means you’ve connected with the characters, become invested in the story, and truly feel the feelings—heartache, regret, betrayal, grief—the author intended to convey. Has it been a while since you listened to an audiobook that left you teary-eyed? Then look no further, and listen in to one of these audiobooks that will leave you reaching for the tissues.
