No One Ever Asked
批評家のレビュー
“Humble. Powerful. Awakening. No One Ever Asked unapologetically invites its reader into a journey of historical significance and soul discovery. A trek which, once taken, you won’t come back from.” (Mary Weber, author of The Evaporation of Sofi Snow)
“Emotionally resonant and brimming with hope, No One Ever Asked is an intimate portrayal of a community in chaos. As Katie Ganshert employs alternating perspectives and vastly different viewpoints, she dives deep into fraught themes of race, adoption, social justice, infidelity, friendship, and more. This gripping story is written with sensitivity and grace, and it will stay with readers long after the final page is turned.... A heart-changing, transformative work!” (Nicole Baart, author of Little Broken Things)
“No One Ever Asked is that rare breed of story that lingers in your heart and mind long after the final page is turned.... Gut wrenching and achingly authentic, this story lays bare the profound intricacies of racial tension. Katie Ganshert is a gifted wordsmith with an uncanny ability to elicit the emotions her characters are experiencing in the reader. This evocative and incisive human drama will not leave you unmoved - a cautionary tale infused with hope. With a handful of stellar novels already to her credit, Ganshert has raised the bar once again. No One Ever Asked has my highest recommendation.” (Rel Mollet, relzreviewz.com)
あらすじ・解説
Challenging perceptions of discrimination and prejudice, this emotionally resonant drama for listeners of Lisa Wingate and Jodi Picoult explores three different women navigating challenges in a changing school district - and in their lives.
Winner of the Christy Award.
When an impoverished school district loses its accreditation and the affluent community of Crystal Ridge has no choice but to open their school doors, the lives of three very different women converge: Camille Gray - the wife of an executive, mother of three, long-standing PTA chairwoman, and champion fund-raiser - faced with a shocking discovery that threatens to tear her picture-perfect world apart at the seams; Jen Covington, the career nurse whose long, painful journey to motherhood finally resulted in adoption, but she is struggling with a happily ever after so much harder than she anticipated. Twenty-two-year-old Anaya Jones - the first woman in her family to graduate college and a brand-new teacher at Crystal Ridge's top elementary school, unprepared for the powder-keg situation she's stepped into. Tensions rise within and without, culminating in an unforeseen event that impacts them all.
This story explores the implicit biases impacting American society and asks the ultimate question: What does it mean to be human? Why are we so quick to put labels on each other and categorize people as "this" or "that" when such complexity exists in each person?
