About this audiobook
From bestselling author Amanda Prowse comes the poignant tale of a woman who has always been there for her family. But will they be there for her?
Rae-Valentine and Howard were childhood sweethearts. They’ve shared twenty-five peaceful years since they were brought together by Dolly, Howard’s larger-than-life sister. But now, on the night of their wedding anniversary, Howard reveals a shocking betrayal that leaves Rae reeling.
Heartbroken, she takes Dolly on her would-be anniversary trip to Antigua and the two women drink and dance and talk like they haven’t in years. But in the break from real life, Rae realises her choices have always been made for her, and suddenly she’s questioning not only her fragile marriage but also her one-sided friendships. Is she really the pushover everyone else sees?
When Howard comes looking for reconciliation, Rae has a choice to make: keep the peace, as she always has, or put herself first for once and find out who she really is.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another good listen, I enjoy the way author, explores characters and relationships and was very happy for the ending which I should say no more!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Amanda Prowse has become an auto-read author for me. I love her stories of ordinary women (and their families) who are thrown into extraordinary circumstances and how they react and adjust. This is another in that vein, and I was left guessing until almost the end as to how things would pan out for Rae-Valentine, what the truth of her situation would turn out to be, and what direction she would choose for her life. As a bonus, I listened to much of the audio version, which is read by the author, and she does a lovely job with the narration.
