Publisher's summary

Several years ago Jimmy Buffett wrote his Tales From Margaritaville. He labeled it as "Fictional Facts and Factual Fictions". In a sense that's what I have done with Home Sweet Outer Banks Home?.

For years I have been urged to write my family's memoir. My first wife and all the women in her family died young. My daughters face the same battles as those women before them. I have put that story into this book...but only partly. Yes, there are important facts that are 100 percent true. But there are also some "non-facts" to keep the story moving. My children are in this book. They will recognize themselves in the characters, though not as their real names. My mother, the strong woman that she is, will recognize herself too. I used her real name.

This is a story of strength, weakness, grief, community involvement, but most of all, triumph.

Review

First audio book- had a stroke about 9 months ago and loved to read but found it hard to focus now.
Love it! The story was good and fun to know about places I've been or visited before. I've hooked! Greg Smrdel- great job! Ready for continuation of this story.

Very tedious main plot and no subplots

The early chapters are basically a description of characters who have died of cancer before the story begins, with a lot of detail that never becomes relevant later. From there, literally the whole entire book is about a man hemming and hawing whether or not to move. That’s all that “happens.” You could skip hours of content and pick back up right where you left off. The narrator was okay except that he mispronounced Manteo. I wanted to like it, but it wasn’t for me.
