The Mother's Day Letter

By: Martha Fouts

Narrated by: Lisa Lynn Sandlin

Natalie loved to make to-do lists and felt a real satisfaction when everything on her list was checked off. This made her the perfect wedding coordinator, but didn't always go over so well with other areas of her life. When Great-Aunt Wanda was alive she'd been almost like a mother to Natalie, whose mother dropped out of Natalie's life when she was fifteen. The first Mother's Day after Wanda's death, Natalie receives an eerie letter from her precious great-aunt with four challenges. Will the always-in-control Natalie be able to fulfill Wanda's challenges, and experience the true love and friendships that are awaiting her, or will she retreat to the security of her perfectly plotted to-do list life and ignore her aunt's challenges from the grave?

Short and Sweet!

This story is such a fun, sweet, cute, rom-com, Christian book! It's pretty short but full of beautiful things!

The FMC Natalie gets a letter from her deceased aunt with challenges and a prepaid vacation, and at first she's hesitant to go through with her aunts last wish for her. But eventually she decides to take the leap of faith and do it! She learns to open her heart, to lean on others, and to trust God.
She is hardworking and has built this business up for herself and has gone through a lot of heartache and pain in her past. She is very caring and strong and independent.

The MMC Shawn and her romance isn't a huge plot point, but it is second chance love, and very sweet, and he cares a lot about her despite her breaking it off with him sometimes before the time th book takes place. She learns to allow herself to love and to let others in, to trust, and that it's okay to need help sometimes, very beautiful message. The ending was wonderful, with everything coming together to give you a joyous happy ending!

The Narrator Lisa is so amazing! She does wonderful in every book I listen to from her, and does not disappoint. She does so well with allowing you into the minds of the characters through the way she speaks for them. She gives them life, and emotion, even sings at times when needed. She differentiates between characters wonderfully and makes you enjoy listening to the story!

Learning to let go

This is beautiful story of learning to let go of control and trusting yourself and those around you. I adore Natalie she is a strong independent woman with a huge heart. The challenges she faces in this book are so relatable. Planning is how she deals with life and when she gets a letter that throws that upside down, she pushes through and follows the advice she is given. This book is written by a Christian author and God plays a big part in this story. The narrator did an amazing job and she even sings! This book made my heart happy.
