From the bestselling author of The Things We Cannot Say and The Warsaw Orphan and for fans of All the Light We Cannot See, Before I Let You Go explores a hotly divisive topic and asks how far the ties of family love can be stretched before they finally break.

“Kelly Rimmer skillfully takes us deep inside a world where love must make choices that logic cannot. Ripped from the headlines and from the heart, Before I Let You Go is an unforgettable novel that will amaze and startle you with its impact and insight.” —Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author of The Bookshop at Water’s End

“Before I Let You Go is a heartbreaking book about an impossible decision. Kelly Rimmer writes with wisdom and compassion about the relationships between sisters, mother and daughter…. She captures the anguish of addiction, the agonizing conflict between an addict’s best and worst selves. Above all, this is a novel about the deepest love possible.” —Luanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author

The 2:00 a.m. call is the first time Lexie Vidler has heard her sister’s voice in years. Annie is a drug addict, a thief, a liar—and in trouble, again. Lexie has always bailed Annie out, given her money, a place to sleep, sent her to every kind of rehab. But this time, she’s not just strung out—she’s pregnant and in premature labor. If she goes to the hospital, she’ll lose custody of her baby—maybe even go to prison. But the alternative is unthinkable.

As the weeks unfold, Lexie finds herself caring for her fragile newborn niece while her carefully ordered life is collapsing around her. She’s in danger of losing her job, and her fiancé only has so much patience for Annie’s drama. In court-ordered rehab, Annie attempts to halt her downward spiral by confronting long-buried secrets from the sisters’ childhoods, ghosts that Lexie doesn’t want to face. But will the journey heal Annie, or lead her down a darker path?

Don’t miss Kelly Rimmer’s newest novel, The Paris Agent, where a family’s innocent search for answers brings a long-forgotten, twenty-five-year-old mystery featuring two female SOE operatives comes to light!

The overall story is worth a good discussion if you can get past the voice of Lexi and the male characters.
Several times i almost stopped listening because of the annoying voice of the main character and the men of the story.

Good Story. Abysmal voice performance.

This was a nice story, but the narrator for Lexi was horrible. Spend credits wisely.

Painful to listen to....

This was my first book by Kelly Rimmer and I was not disappointed. I liked the 2 different narrators and never felt like the story was lagging. I don't want to post any spoilers but do warn it could be an emotional trigger. Although there were parts that were difficult, I was completely engaged through the entire book and would recommend to anyone. It was painfully realistic but that is part of what makes it so good. I also love Kelly's style of writing....the flashbacks and the back and forth story between the characters.

Was hard to put down

This is a beautifully written book about a heartbreaking story. It's a story too many people in the U.S. are living, today. To write it off because you don't care for the narrators (who I think were fine) is a huge mistake. This is one of my all time favorite books and I hope you take the time to check it out. If you don't like it, Audible will exchange it, so give it a chance. You have nothing to lose and a wonderful work to gain.
