(Read by Christina Traister, Brilliance Audio, 8 CDs, 8 hours and 52 minutes)
When Willa Chandler-Golden鈥檚 husband suddenly announces that he needs 鈥渁 break,鈥� she embarks on a life-changing journey. Challenging everything she was taught by her father 鈥� a bestselling self-help book author 鈥� Willa faces her fears. The plot twists eventually run amok, but it is fun hearing Willa puzzling through questions of free will or fate. Christina Traister is a perky and funny reader, capturing the story鈥檚 irony and sarcastic humor. Her male voices, however, are merely acceptable, and regional accents should have been axed. Grade: B+
