The Second Journey (by Joan Anderson)

THE SECOND JOURNEY by Joan Anderson (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Encourages us all to take the breaks that we need to regain our emotional balance….a fulfilling chronicle.” (Philadelphia Inquirer on An Unfinished Marriage)

Suffused with her characteristic humor and warmth, Joan Anderson’s new book is for any woman who wants to know how to reawaken her own independent spirit in the middle of life. Sharing her musings on love, marriage, family, and growing older, Joan offers empowering reassurances that the best is yet to come.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s narrator, Pam Ward. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Anderson’s warm, inviting tone will appeal to women who feel, as she did, that they need time and space to reinvent themselves.” (Publishers Weekly on A Weekend to Change Your Life)
