A beautiful story sensitively told!

Levi Binder lives a hedonistic lifestyle, largely as a protest against his conservative Mormon family’s condemnation - the more they disapprove, the more he pushes. Things change when he meets Jaime Marshall, a quiet massage therapist who lives a highly anxious life due to childhood trauma. Somehow, despite the family’s misgivings, both men will be each other’s salvation. While this redemption romance tackled religious beliefs, child sexual abuse and the resultant PTSD, it wasn’t too heavy or morbid - there were lots of sweet or light moments. I’m not good with overly religious stories and I did squirm a bit at times, but I thought all topics were handled sensitively and thoughtfully. The shining strand throughout the story was the growing relationship between Levi and Jaime and their patience with each other, it evolved beautifully. Audio narrator John Solo is always a favourite; he’s such a versatile performer, handling laughter and sorrow equally well. Here, I especially loved his softened voice for Jaime, it suited the character perfectly.
