By the end of the day, I had gobbled up all 320 pages!īoth narrators of these two books are superb. I listened to a few minutes of Therese Plummer’s excellent narration, while reading my digital copy, and I was hooked. Well, I couldn’t even wait for our book club meeting the next day. On faith in this author’s talent, I blindly requested all the print and CD copies I could get, along with a digital and audio copy for myself on Libby, the handy library app I love. It had been on my wish list, and I had every intention of ordering it on Audible sometime soon. So, I thought, why not choose her latest book? Even though I hadn’t read it yet. But the library didn’t have enough copies for the eight to ten of us.
So, when it was my turn to choose a novel for our book club, I had every intention of recommending HAPPINESS FOR BEGINNERS. After listening to a sample of that book narrated by Margarite Gavin, I easily used one of my Audible credits to download it and read it right away. I fell in love with author Katherine Center’s style when I stumbled upon HAPPINESS FOR BEGINNERS last year.
Funny and emotive, with forgiveness as a healing theme. ( From the publisher.THINGS YOU SAVE IN A FIRE by Katherine Center, narrated by Therese Plummer, is an entertaining way to spend 24 hours glued to a book. Katherine Center's Things You Save in a Fire is a heartfelt and healing tour-de-force about the strength of vulnerability, the nourishing magic of forgiveness, and the life-changing power of defining courage, at last, for yourself. Cassie can feel her resolve slipping.and it means risking it all-the only job she’s ever loved, and the hero she’s worked like hell to become. And don’t forget the advice her old captain gave her: Never date firefighters.
Because love is girly, and it’s not her thing. Except for the infatuation-inspiring rookie, who doesn't seem to mind having Cassie around. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren't exactly thrilled to have a "lady" on the crew-even one as competent and smart as Cassie. The tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie's old job as it could possibly be. But when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to give up her whole life and move to Boston, Cassie suddenly has an emergency of her own. As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she's seen her fair share of them, and she's a total pro at other people's tragedies. From the author of How to Walk Away comes a stunning new novel about courage, hope, and learning to love against all odds.Ĭassie Hanwell was born for emergencies.
