Sweetwater Gap

By: Denise Hunter

Narrated by: Kathryn Lynhurst

A story of love and second chances. She wished she could go back and change things...but life doesn't give do-overs. Could anything but good-byes be waiting on the other side of Sweetwater Gap?

Josie Mitchell's sister Laurel thinks she's come home to pitch in with the apple harvest and save the family orchard. Her brother-in-law Nate thinks she's there to talk the overworked, very pregnant Laurel into finally selling the family business. The orchard's new manager Grady Mackenzie just thinks she's trouble with a capital T. They're all right...and all wrong. Because no one really knows what drove Josie from home in the first place. Why she's never come home before, even for her own father's funeral. Why she pushes herself so hard...and what she's running from. And nobody, not even Josie, is prepared for the surprising new fruit she'll find on her last trip home.

Importance of Dad

This book was very touching. It hit a few sensitive spots of my past that helped me understand myself/ my failures vs. God’s grace and love in an even deeper way. Great story.

good listen

I liked the story. My only issue (my opinion only)
is that i don't feel like her guilt at the end was fully explained. she confessed things and God would forgive. but what about her farther and Ian's father....we need an epilog...

Spoilers and warnings!

The heroine in this story had a tragic back story, which is not uncommon in D.H. Books, this one was described in a modest way, not too upsetting. What was upsetting for me was the heroine’s depressed suicidal thinking that just went on and on and on. I had a close family member commit suicide that I watched go down hill with the depressed thinking, so this wasn’t pleasant for me, but it wasn’t so bad that I quit the book, which I have with other D.H. Books. But this isn’t a book I would read/listen to a second time. Also the fact that at the end the heroine didn’t get out in the psych ward was disturbing. She needed it. The reader was good, the her as usual was too good, overall the book was okay.

Great quick listen

Denise Hunter is the first author I ever read in this Christian romance genre and this is the fifth book I’ve read by her! I have loved every one of them!

I love how in this story the main character is struggling with her relationship with God and we get to see how that changes. I think it’s so relatable to so many!

I also love this narrator! She does most of Hunters books and she’s very skilled and I enjoy her very much!

An OK story

Didn’t strike me as quite as good as most of her books. Since I only use Audible now I do tend to judge by the narrator and how they do. This was a good narrator except for when she did the southern voices, they were awful, sounded fake and made the people sound like they were 100 years old. Just not necessary, just talk in your normal voice it would be so much better. Josie was a frustrating lady just didn’t quite ring true so how somebody could be so stubborn. Grady was great, Nate was very nice except for his bad accent, as was Laurel.
