A Rollicking Love Story

It takes all kinds! A departure from story “formula,” this novel is about love blossoming in the midst of the most evil kinds of criminals. The characters have the right stuff to survive one terrifying development after another. In the end, a stealthy but clear message about the necessity for God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit shines through.

A fun story

this was a fun story to listen to with some adventure and truths thrown in to entertain and inform. Very enjoyable.

Great Story! Lots of twists and turns!

Love this book, another wonderful book by Grace Livingston hill! She is by far my favorite author of all times. I listen to her books and even on the second or third time. I love! Great narration!

Such a sweet, captivating story!

One of my favorites from Grace Livingston Hill! I loved that it wasn’t quite so predictable but still the sweetest story with a happy ending!

Excellent narration of GLH's wonderful adventure!

I've read this book so many times that I know passages by heart, but this is the first time I've listened to it on audiobook. Karen Commins did an outstanding job! It felt like she was experiencing the story as she told it.

This is one of Grace Livingston Hill's most rollicking Roaring Twenties adventures - a wonderful journey story with planes, trains, and automobiles; danger and glamor; good vs. evil; and true love!

It's also one of her most deeply meaningful. Chan is a complex character whose inner battles and joys feel very real. Rachel is much more than a damsel in distress - she's a portrait of the social, moral, and emotional conflicts young women faced in the time between the World Wars.

As fantastic as it may seem to some modern readers, the dangers Rachel confronted were very real in Grace's day, and are relevant today as well. I've actually witnessed a similarly harrowing situation on a train trip. Because of "The White Flower," I found the courage to step up and make sure a young woman had the support she needed to stay safe.

As always, Grace writes to a universal audience and works the message of practical Christianity into her tale in a seamless way. There's no condemnation or preachiness to make a non-Christian reader feel uncomfortable, and a Christian reader will feel like coming home to old friends.

This book is perfect for fans of movies like "National Treasure." It's a great choice for family road trips, especially if you talk about 1920s history afterwards. "Live pure, speak true, right wrong, and follow the King"!

Beautiful Story of Faith, Love, and Adventure

Thank you for making another beautiful Grace Livingston Hill book available on audio. This story had many twists and turns that led the hero Chan Prescott to the King. The story is timeless and heartwarming.

Silly

This was like a really bad Hallmark movie. I wish I had not bought it.
