Ava and Claire

Coming Apart Description

A woman who's lost everything. Her sister, who has everything. And the baby who means everything—to both of them.

Ava has always been poor, so she doesn't think the Great Depression will change anything. But when her mother dies and her coal miner husband loses his job, Ava's certainty falters. The last thing she needs is a letter from her estranged sister, asking for the impossible.

Claire has everything she could ever want, except the child she promised her husband. When her sister's life falls apart, she reaches out to help—and finds the missing piece of her own marriage.

With everything at stake, Ava must choose: give up one child to save the rest, or keep her family together and risk losing everything?

If you like strong, resourceful women, well-developed historical themes, and heartfelt family drama, then Coming Apart is your next rainy-day listen.

Contains mature themes.
