About this listen

Another Life is a powerful, moving and hopeful story of the life-changing impact of the connections we form, by the bestselling author of The Four Winds and The Women, Kristin Hannah.

Angie DeSaria has spent years of her life trying to have a child. Now, her marriage has crumbled under the strain. Adrift and alone, she returns to her childhood home, a small coastal town in the Pacific Northwest, to help try and rescue the beloved, failing family business.

Lauren Ribido is a senior in high school. She dreams of an Ivy League education, escaping her hometown and her troubled mother.

When Angie hires Lauren to work at the restaurant, they form an immediate bond, which deepens when Lauren’s mother abruptly leaves town and Angie offers her a place to stay. But nothing could have prepared Angie for the far-reaching repercussions of this act of kindness. Together, these two women – one who longs for a child and the other who longs for a mother’s love – will be tested in ways that neither could have imagined.

Very moving story

Loved this story and felt as though I was part of it - could visualise all the locations. This is narrated brilliantly
Didn’t want it to end and must admit had a tear in my eye!

Lovely story

Really lovely although heart-wrenching (at times) and wonderfully narrated. If I had written this I would have made a few different decisions, I won't say any more than that! But really enjoyed it, thank you.

Another fabulous story!

Lovely story albeit predicable ending but how can you not give a 5 star review for a story that you don’t want to end!!

Beautiful

I have been listening to audiobooks books for a long time, when I’m going to sleep or I’m driving but the books by this wonderful writer are different, I turn off the tv, I just can’t turn them off, I close my eyes and it’s like watching a movie in my mind. Her descriptions are just wonderful, I will always remember these books such a privilege to have found Kristin Hannah and Susan Erickson

Heartfelt story

I didn’t like switching from chapter to chapter within the book that wasn’t in sink with the audio chapters- it meant it was difficult sometimes to guess (in earlier chapters) when the story changed to alternate characters.
