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!!

Wow spellbinding story.

I read this book a number of years a go so was so happy when it became available on Audible so I could have a copy of the book in my library.

I loved this book and the Journey that Angie and Lauren went on to understand the true meaning of love. Angie was a grate support to Lauren as was Lauren to her and it was grate to see the two characters connect in a special way and help each other through there challanges. This is an author I really liked and i would highly recommend this title.
