About this audiobook
Anna Goodrich is a twenty-eight-year-old artist in New York City, out on a Friday night in the city when she gets the call that her uncle has suddenly died. When she returns home to mid-coast Maine for his funeral, she faces all that she left behind when she left seven years earlier.
The pain of her own mother's death, the fractured relationships with her father, and her first love. The life she had built for herself in New York-the art world, her boyfriend, her roommate who is also her best friend-allowed her to forget the grief and hurt she had left behind in Maine. But when her uncle leaves her a surprising inheritance, if forces her to face them, and the parts of her self she's buried.
As she searches for answers about herself, and where she belongs, she discovers how people and places shape us, and how understanding, forgiveness, and grace have the power to transform us and the people we love.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5By chance I had just finished The Way Life Should Be by Christina Baker Cline when I picked up The Wideness of the Sea by Katie Curtis. The novels are similar in that both women retreat to Maine from NYC hoping to find a resolution to all that troubles them. The stories do differ but in both these women are questioning themselves and the choices they made early in their adult lives. The Wideness of the Sea is more probing and complex and I could feel the struggles that the main character was going through. Of course, also a love story and very sweet. I liked it a lot.
