Ten Days in May

Written by Tracey Richardson

Narrated by Jen Jayden

Camryn Hughes has reinvented herself since the chaotic and nomadic years of being a musician. She's happy in her serene life until a new client has her examining her one regret—parting ways with her first love. Is it possible to go back and choose the other fork in the road—the one that leads back to the only woman she's ever loved?



Brooke Ross has no regrets about her long-ago decision to put herself and her career as a restaurateur first. But thanks to the ongoing ravages on her business from the pandemic, plus a girlfriend she can't bring herself to love, Brooke is at a crossroads. Throwing caution to the wind for once, she agrees to an unusual invitation that just might lead her to figuring out what—and who—she really wants.



Ten Days in May is about second chances, about choosing life, and discovering what's meaningful in turbulent times.



Contains mature themes.

Tracey Richardson

Tracey Richardson came to a love of books early on, thanks to a mother who took her and her two siblings regularly to the library in the Windsor area of Ontario, Canada, just across the river from Detroit. She even loves the smell of the ink and paper in books and to this day, when she opens a brand new book, she always gives it a good sniff! A journalist by trade, she worked at Ontario daily newspapers as first a reporter and later a copy editor. Semi-retired now, she finally has more time to devote to her fiction writing.

Reviews for Ten Days in May

[Jane Daugherty · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I almost stopped listening. Reading a tale about a death doula wasn’t what I had in mind for a cold, rainy afternoon. But Tracey Richardson can weave a story with strong characters, excellent dialog, and complex plots. I’ve loved many of her novels. Wow, complex plots this one definitely offered. Except for a few too convenient solutions, this is lesbian drama/romance well worth reading. If you happen to like Michigan’s Mackinac Island, that’s an added attraction. Very good narration too.

I'm pretty sure this is the first book by Richardson that I've read. I know I've picked up at least a couple before but, for whatever reason, put them back down. I initially passed over this one when looking at releases available on NetGalley for just this reason. It was a nice surprise to be immediately pulled into the story.

While the story was good and mostly believable, it was Cam's profession that really drew me in. I had never heard of death doulas before but it makes total sense that such a thing would exist. I hope I have someone like Cam around when my time is near. And the character of Cam seemed damn near perfect - at least current Cam, not Erica-Cam.

Brooke, on the other hand, was a bit of a struggle for me to connect with. And her drastic transformation seemed a bit too drastic for the time spent working on it. But, as my wife loves to remind me, it's pretend.

The secondary characters definitely add to the reading enjoyment and my heart broke for Landon and Tenley.

All in all, Ten Days in May was an emotional and fulfilling read and I'll be much less hesitant to pick up a Tracey Richardson book in the future.

Thanks to Bella and NetGalley for the review copy!
