Amazon.com Amazon.com Audiobook Review (ISBN 038079487X, Paperback)

When things take a turn for the worse in Atlanta, Ava Johnson decides to sell her hair salon and move to San Francisco. On the way, she chooses to summer in Idlewild, the small town in northern Michigan where she grew up. Will she be able to move on, however, when her friends and family need her? Author Pearl Cleage reads this generous (four and one-half hour) abridgment, and her gentle, warm voice seems to put every scene--for better or worse--into soft focus. An Oprah book pick. (Running time: 4.5 hours, 4 cassettes) --C.B. Delaney
