    About this audiobook

    From USA Today bestselling author Paullina Simons comes a fascinating novel of love, betrayal, and the price of passion.

    Nothing is ever as it seems…

    Larissa Stark is many things. Wife, mother, devoted friend, and unhappy. Her seemingly charmed life in a New Jersey suburb should leave her fulfilled and content. Instead, she feels increasingly isolated and empty. But when she has a chance encounter with an intriguing stranger, her idyllic existence is exposed for the sham it is and leads her to question everything she once firmly believed.

    As Larissa is faced with one impossible choice after another, she begins to contemplate the unthinkable and struggles with the question that will inevitably change the course of her life: how does one woman follow a divided heart?

    Spanning the affluent suburbs of New Jersey, the slums of Manila, and the desolate beauty of the Australian outback, A Song in the Daylight is an unforgettable, powerful story of the bonds that unite us—and the desires that can ultimately drive us apart.

      This is quite possibly the most depressing novel I have read yet by Paullina Simons. All of her books have an element of poignancy, however I could not get past the character flaws of the protagonist, Larissa. It is a very long book, and I thought about abandoning it several times, yet continued reading it in the hope that Larissa would find redemption. I won’t give anything in the plot away, as she is a wonderful writer and my opinion shouldn’t dissuade a person from reading this. But be ready to have a lump in your stomach throughout the novel.
