Free Audiobook : Hello Beautiful, by Ann Napolitano

Raised in a home shadowed by sorrow, William Waters experienced a childhood devoid of affection from his grief-stricken parents. When he encounters the vivacious and driven Julia Padavano during his first year of college, it feels as if his world has been illuminated. Julia's family becomes an integral part of his life, with her three inseparable sisters: book-loving Sylvie, the family's daydreamer; Cecelia, the free-spirited artist; and Emeline, the gentle caretaker of the family. In the company of the Padavanos, William discovers a sense of belonging, and their home is filled with joyful pandemonium.

However, the shadows of William's past reemerge, threatening not only Julia's meticulously designed plans for their future together but also the unbreakable bond between the sisters. This results in a devastating family schism that impacts their lives for generations to come. Can the deep-rooted loyalty that once held them together be powerful enough to reunite them when it is most crucial?

Hello Beautiful serves as a beautiful tribute to Louisa May Alcott's enduring classic, Little Women, and offers a deeply touching portrayal of the possibilities that arise when we choose to love someone for who they are, rather than in spite of it.
