“Jio debuts with a pleasant if familiar story of a woman rebuilding after romantic and professional setbacks.

In her twenties, Emily Wilson was on top of the world: she had a bestselling novel, a husband plucked from the pages of GQ, and a one-way ticket to happily ever after. Ten years later, the tide has turned on Emily’s good fortune. So when her great-aunt Bee invites her to spend the month of March on Bainbridge Island in Washington State, Emily accepts, longing to be healed by the sea. Researching her next book, Emily discovers a red velvet diary, dated 1943, whose contents reveal startling connections to her own life. Emily’s attempts to ferret out the story behind the diary bring her into contact with the island’s mildly colorful locals; as Emily enjoys a simmering romance with an artist, answers prove hard to come by, and even Bee is reluctant to share the truth.

… Narrating with excitement and flair, Lyssa Browne brings life to the vivacious Emily as she rediscovers life and love with the help of her aunt and two men–one a high school flame and the other a mysterious neighbor. In contrast to Emily, Aunt Bee is given a slow-paced, grandmotherly voice. A mystery presents itself when Emily finds a diary from 1943. Browne delivers the story-within-a-story in a more subdued, even tone that sets it off from Emily’s own. E.N. (c) AudioFile 2011
