About this listen
A Revealing and Intimate Story of What a Mother Will - and Will Not - Do for Her Daughters
What kind of women do daughters become when their fathers are missing and their mothers can't love them? How do they find love and ways to love themselves?
Nearly three decades of secrets lie between Lola Ashby and the two girls she reluctantly raised. Now, prompted by the one father figure she respects, older daughter Frankie agrees to drive from Portland to visit her ailing mother, who abandoned the girls when they were in high school. When younger daughter Callie announces to Frankie that she's moving her fashion-model career to Los Angeles from the East Coast, Frankie badgers her sister into meeting up in the Idaho panhandle for a family reunion to dilute the impact of their mother's indifference.
However, on Frankie's first night on the road, the trip gets more complicated when a well-dressed elderly woman at a rest stop dumps a young boy in her lap with a request to take him on to Montana. And Callie's exit from Pittsburgh is fraught with its own shady and violent difficulties. Meanwhile Lola strengthens her resolve to keep the past and its secrets where they belong.

Depressing
A depressing story that managed to JUST keep me listening until the end, which, was quite disappointing. Don’t listen to guys if you feel a need to be uplifted

Couldn’t even finish this audiobook
The narrator has such a dull voice I couldn’t stand to listen to it, I couldn’t follow the story because she was so boring to listen to!

Loved it
Finally… this book had me captivated from the beginning. I bought it thinking it was non- fiction and held off listening thinking it was probably going to be heavy going. So glad I bothered… great plot, deep characters. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

best book I've listened to
I wasn't sure what to expect but straight away I was drawn into the characters and learned a lot about myself in their stories.

Tried and tried, the narrator made me so sad!
Audible is about the narrator as much as the story. In this case, the story didn't get a voice as I couldn't listen to the awful narration. So low and monotone, just so dreadful! Putting PhD next to your name just makes you look like a ****
