About this audiobook
No one should have to go it alone...
Tabitha Knicely is overwhelmed with sorrow and exhaustion caring for her beloved great-aunt, whose dementia is getting worse. When her neighbor Marcus Whittington accuses Tabitha of elder neglect, he doesn't realize how his threats to have Aunt Tweet taken away add to Tabitha's pain.
Then Marcus gets to know the exuberant elderly lady and sees up close how hard Tabitha is fighting to keep everything together. Tabitha finds herself leaning on Marcus more and more. And he's becoming more than happy to share her burdens...

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent, Christ-centered book with excellent narration. I was rooting for these characters and look forward to the rest of the series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Need a feel-good book? Try this one. As I read this lovely story, I could easily envision it as a Tyler Perry movie. “Lean on Me” is about family love and tackles the difficult topic of being a caregiver.Never having been in the situation Tabitha is I felt overwhelmed just reading about what her life was like caring for her great-aunt. Marcus is the man every woman would love to have. After at first jumping to the conclusion that Tabitha was irresponsible in the care of her great-aunt he soon recognizes his error. How could you not love a man who steps up to be the caregiver to the caregiver! Written with compassion my heart went out to Tabitha and her sisters as they watch their beloved Aunt Tweet ravished with dementia. Being a Christian romance, Tabitha and Marcus find strength through their faith. The characters were well developed and relatable, written with normal flaws that had to be tackled.I really enjoyed the story as it elicited a variety of emotions – love, fear, happiness, sadness, pride, sweetness. A truly beautiful story. Thank you to Sourcebooks for the e-galley to review. All opinions expressed are mine.
