Anywhere the Weeds Grow

Written by Danielle Stewart

Narrated by Kimberly Austin

There is a vast difference between having it all and being fulfilled. In the eyes of most onlookers, Carol Burgess couldn’t ask for a more gratifying life. She’d climbed the corporate ladder and taken her swipes at the glass ceiling, leaving a few cracks along the way. When she’s finally the one in charge, she discovers change is still taboo in the elite literary industry. Faced with the choice of keeping the status quo or starting a revolution of ideas, Carol seeks out a fresh and undiscovered voice in the writing world. Rather than searching the usual universities and conferences, she broadens her pursuit to a less conventional hunting ground. Sending her charming assistant, Terrance, to entice her reluctant prospect, sets in motion a journey none of them expect.

Marta Leduc longs to remember her childhood more vividly. The urge to make sense of the chaos and trauma remains strong even after she accomplishes her lifelong goal of publishing her novel. Generations of her family followed the same trajectory of their New Hampshire town. They thrived on booming millwork and then, upon the downturn, crumbled just as the uninhabited brick buildings did. When success is at her fingertips, Marta is faced with the reality that her past is always nipping at her heels. Like the lingering ache of whiplash, she understands the misfortunes she’s endured will always be a part of her. Encouraged by Terrance, Marta begins to imagine a life she never thought possible. Carol and Marta must unite if they intend to change “what always has been” into “what could be.” When their fates intertwine, neither is safe from the forces that wish to hold them back. Will sheer determination be enough to keep them ahead of the next disaster?

Reviews for Anywhere the Weeds Grow

[Lize · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I battled to get into the story. The main character was too wimpy and just as the story got momentum the book was suddenly finished. It felt as if there were some chapters missing.

[Lisa Park · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was going great but it just ended and I feel like there is much more to the story. What a letdown on the ending.

[PIXIE Beauty Studio Osijek · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Easy flow, I liked it. But narrator was whispering all the time, it was a bit annoying.

[Jennifer Adams · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Real people, real life, I didn’t want the book to end.

Good premise. Long and draw out and never reached a true climax.

[Karen Chandler · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is an interesting storyline with some magical moments. Enjoy

[Donna Larson Christian · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

LOVED the book.....the only problem was it was to short....I trust there is one after this. I hated to leave the folks in the story. It was read VERY well too.

[Melinda Wortman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It was good! I wanted more!! Is there a sequel??

[TONYA FITZPATRICK · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

So many questions were left unanswered. The story did not resolve any of the conflicts, and abruptly wound up with some romantic notions instead of a real story.

Huge disappointment! Don’t waste your time on this nauseating narrator.

[Lalitha Moodley · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This book was very good up to where it ended abruptly without closing any of the relationships , without giving a positive direction or ending. .... I'm sure there has to be a sequel but it could have ended a bit better

[Grace L · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I couldn't get into the story. Not my cup of tea.

[Kay Goat · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What a beautiful story! This is an interesting listen - in fact one of the best I’ve listened too in a while!! I’m looking forward to listening to the next one!!
