THE GUEST COTTAGE Firefly Summer, Book 1

Narrator Piper Goodeve brings listeners to the town of Bramble, Kentucky, where Marlow Heddings has relocated after the death of her husband, whom she was in the process of divorcing. Looking for a fresh start, Marlow is renting a cabin from ex-Marine Cort Easton and contending with her former in-laws. Goodeve gives them strident tones as they insist on Marlow returning to the family firm. Also arriving in Bramble is Pixie, the young woman Marlow's husband had an affair with. Goodeve provides a great contrast between Marlow's maturity and Pixie's youth. As Marlow ends up helping Pixie, Goodeve takes the younger woman from a state of panic to one of calm. Listeners will be rooting for Marlow and Pixie as they establish themselves in Bramble. S.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2025]
