Synopsis:

house and make a fresh start. Enter Loralee her stepmother and Merritt’s stepbrother Owen who are moving here, from
McDonough Georgia. Loralee plans to
stay with Merritt whether she wants her help or not. She also is hiding something that is
important to Owen’s future. How will Merritt
play a role in it? Then there is also
the brother in law that Merritt did not know she had. Is he anything like his brother? Can she let go of the past?
My Thoughts:
I enjoyed
the story. I listened to the Sound of
Glass on Audible. I thought the
narrators did a great job! I thought
they brought to life the characters of Lora Lee and Merritt very well. The setting of Beaufort South Carolina is
something I would like to see one day. I
realize the house where Merritt and Loralee stay might be fictional but still
a place I would like to visit. My most
favorite part was the dialogue between characters. There is a scene where Loralee bribes Owen
to convince Merritt to go out on the water which was very entertaining. I could
not wait to see where the story went next.
I felt that the pacing of the story lagged some in certain parts but I
enjoyed it.
