I couldnt finish this. I was so bored. I got about 20% through it twice and had to re listen to it because I was spacing out.
I just couldn’t connect.
Rating 3 stars to keep it neutral.

DNF at 10%. The story was kind of intriguing and I'd be interested in reading it physically later, but I didn't like the audiobook narrator. Her voice was lovely but how she was reading the story didn't work for me. I will try the physical book eventually though as it sounds good.

Thanks to Harper Collins Christian Publishing, Thomas Nelson Publishing, NetGalley, author Caroline George, and narrator Hallie Richards for the advance copy of this audiobook. Based on some of the authors family history the women in this story are compelling and quite interesting characters. I was swept up in the story and felt as though I was being a witness to the events that happened to them. It is such a fascinating experience to witness a part of history, even mixed with fiction, from the perspective of women and how they have become stronger in their roles in life was refreshing. I highly recommend this book.

Thank you to Caroline George, NetGalley and Harper Collins Christian Publishing for the opportunity to listen to this intricate tale of a young woman who is determined to break the curse that has plagued the first born female in her family for 7 generations beginning in 1855.

The curse becomes true around the 18th birthday of each of these young women and Susana Prather is determined to break this curse. The night of her 18th birthday, or the deadline as she puts its, finally arrives and she goes to sleep. When Suzanna wakes up she is covered in water and has no recollection of sleepwalking. So she has to hides things from her family. Her family is hiding things too! What is it going to take to break the cycle?

This tale set in the deep south really hits home. So many of the 'sayings', 'words of wisdom' and 'wives tales' have been used in my home over the years.

"Life is what you make it, but not everyone receives the same material."

This was a beautifully narrated novel with a multi-generational story, with romance, mystery and suspense, while at the same time being a wholesome, Christian book that covers issues that young people in today's world deal with.
