About this listen

In the cold aftermath of a devastating fire in the late 70s, Lila's haven was reduced to ashes. Standing amidst the remnants of her cherished possessions, she faced the harsh truth of life's impermanence. The sight of her charred stereo, once her connection to the broader world, and the loss of her beloved poodle, a constant source of joy and energy, left a void in her heart. The stark exposure of her once-private world under the scrutiny of tragedy's unforgiving light was a profound revelation. This pivotal moment marked a transformation in Lila's life.

Set in a small coastal Florida town, this story explores themes of community, family turmoil, and personal growth. The fire, which destroyed her material attachments, ignited a deeper understanding within her. Lila learned the fleeting nature of possessions and the enduring value of memories and experiences. Her journey is rich with the trials and triumphs of a young girl learning to navigate the complexities of life, dealing with loss and renewal, and finding beauty in the simplest of things.

Taylor Edwards captures the raw beauty of the natural world and the human heart with a narrative power that echoes the works of Delia Owens and Kristin Hannah.
