Trust in God

Beautiful heartwarming story. It gives you the answer to life's problems. Trust in God. I really enjoy Lynn Austin's writings.

Such a good book!!

I absolutely love this book. It is so well written and the narrator is so good! The southern accent that the narrator did really helped portray the story. This is a must-read!!

Excellent on all fronts!

I really appreciated this story. I hadn't focused my readings on the times immediately following the Civil War and this book opened my eyes to the pain, suffering and hardships everyone experienced. Nothing is ever simple in this life but love and kindness always helps hearts to begin to heal. We could use a lot of that right now!!! Ms. Miles' performance was outstanding and added a deeper dimension to the story. Thank you both for an excellent read and a lot to think on... Bless you both.

Love the fresh perspective

This is the first book I’ve read from this author. Loved it and the fresh perspective it offers on American history

Lynn Austin does it again and again!

Awesome book-never surprised by Lynn’s books. Always keeps me on the edge of my seat!👏🏼

Wonderful story

A very good story about the aftermath of families living through the civil war. The slaves, who are not slaves anymore, the southerners, and the Yankees. Each learning about their new stations in life, it was heartbreaking at times.
A very good book.

Bravo!

This is a truly beautiful story of love and grace and truth! I cried because Otis and Lizzy (representative of all the slaves of that era) were so hopeful for a better future. Yes, they were free, but so many, many Daniels of that day never changed their violent ways and passed their hatred down to their children and it went down through the generations and is still alive in some hearts. I wish so much that things like what they did to Black Wall Street, etc. never happened! I wish so much that the people of that day would have known the true love and grace of God.

All Things New

This was a moving, though-provoking story about two families from the south that took place just after the civil war. Despite our perceived differences, we are all created equal by God. Both former slaves and plantation owners struggle to recover and move forward after a devastating war.
There were also themes of grace and mercy throughout the story. All Things New was inspirational, entertaining and uplifting. I have yet to be disappointed by a Lynn Austin book. She is an amazing author!

Excellent...But....

Very well done story with excellent research, but it brought back some painful reminders of the 1950's when some horrific things were still going on. The author made a very good effort toward explaining the thinking of the time that incited people to lash out against their fellow human being.

Lynn Austin has done a great deal to encourage readers to embrace diversity through the Lord. I would love to hear her speak sometime.

Another hit from Lynn

I have listened to many of Lynn’s audible books, this may be one of my favorite ones, at times I was a little emotional for it was hard not to get wrapped up in some of the characters lives. This always makes for the best story ever!!
