Evvie Drake Starts Over: A Novel Free Audiobook Download by Linda Holmes

After a messy divorce, Evvie Drake finds herself in a familiar place - her parents' home in the suburbs. As she looks forward to a peaceful summer living with them, she's visited by her divorced sister who has an even more dysfunctional family and seems happy there.

Evvie Drake is a successful business woman and has everything she's ever wanted. Her career, her family-life, her friends. However, when Evvie turns 40, she starts to feel disconnected from the life she's been living off of for the last thirty years. She dates but never falls in love, doesn't have children and doesn't really enjoy sex. Bored with herself and taking up too much space in her own life, Evvie decides to try something new: she moves across the country, changes her name and starts over as 'Evie Drake'. Now a local actress and single mom that struggles balancing work and motherhood she meets Rusty who changes everything for her.

Evvie Drake has always been an excellent caretaker. She's been there for her children and her husband when they needed someone, and she's always there for them now. When the family moves to a new city, Evvie starts over with the knowledge that she's finally free of her secret - she was once a teenage runaway. But none of it can prepare her for how much her life is going to change or the personal changes in store for everyone else around her.

After a lifetime of hard work and sacrifices, Evvie Drake's life is finally looking up. A breakthrough in her research and the start of a new career has her at the top of her game. But when she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, she must re-assess everything and make some tough choices that could ultimately change the course of both her life and the world.

Evvie Drake has it all. She's a tech writer at Vogue magazine and the proud mother of two beautiful, funny children. She has her family, her job and a cavernous Upper West Side apartment, but when a rising tide of anxiety finally threatens to drown out the days she spent working on her novel, Evvie makes a life-altering decision...

Evvie Drake is a former editor of a women's lifestyle magazine who lost her job and boyfriend when the company folded. She starts over with a fresh new perspective, but she still has her old life. As the book opens in Paris, she finds herself to be quite lonely with plenty of time on her hands to reflect on her old one.
