"A wonderful fictional memoir with many twists and turns. Written with an overwhelming joyful approach, this story sparkles with life." (Romantic Times)

Wish I read it rather than listened to audible

The story was great. It touched on some tough subjects, abuse, infidelity, dishonesty.... and the lasting effects it can have. But most importantly on faith, forgiveness- forgiveness of others, and of ourself. I really loved how the author stressed that life is fragile, but God made it that way so we will value it more.

The narrator was great in changing voices for each character. My personal problem was I struggled with the nasal and breathy way she spoke. Listening to her, several times I wondered if she did the voices for the cartoon Rudolph and the Misfits. I also didn't feel the editors did a very good job editing the recording. All throughout the book you can hear the narrator moistening her mouth. These are the things that detracted from the book for me.

GOOD READ

First time reading this author. Narrator's Boise too old sounding for younger women, ok for older characters. Enjoyed the story line.

Great storyline

I found at times it was moving a little slowly but it didn’t stop me from listening.

There were surprises and some intensity.

I enjoyed the characters and the plot.

I look forward to Lynn Austin’s books. I’ve read three. I would rate this one third. She’s a great author.

PHENOMENAL BOOK...

Loved it. Love the different character's individual story and how they all worked together. How God used each one to influence each one's life. Thank you for a phenomenal book.

Great book!

Oh man I'm sorry it's over.. kept my attention through the whole book. very good read

Best Audible book yet!

I like Christian fiction, but find it often lacks depth in plot development. This book is so well written and so well narrated, I could not stop listening. I laughed with the characters, cried with them and found myself reaching deeper. Thank you for a wonderful book!

Loved every minute of this book!

What a great story. Unexpected twists along with gentle Godly lessons. I loved this heroine even in her imperfect moments. I wasn’t sorry I bought this book it did not disappoint!

A must read!!!

I find it so hard to find a wholesome story that isn’t cheesy or predictable. This story is heartwarming and painful and wonderful! I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Touching

Excellent story, warm, touching, great plot and character development. Loved it and didn’t want it to end.

Heartwarming story and characters

This is another great book by Lynn Austin.

The story and characters are fascinating.

The focus on relationships is wonderful and the biblical references are relevant.
