Publisher's summary

To those who matter in 1950s Hollywood, Lena Scott is the hottest rising star to hit the silver screen since Marilyn Monroe. Few know her real name is Abra. Even fewer know the price she' s paid to finally feel like she' s somebody. To Pastor Ezekiel Freeman, Abra will always be the little girl who stole his heart the night he found her, a wailing newborn abandoned under a bridge on the outskirts of Haven.

Zeke and his son, Joshua - Abra' s closest friend - watch her grow into an exotic beauty. But Zeke knows the circumstances surrounding her birth etched scars deep in her heart, scars that leave her vulnerable to a fast-talking bad boy who proclaims his love and lures her to Tinseltown. Hollywood feels like a million miles from Haven, and naive Abra quickly learns what' s expected of an ambitious girl with stars in her eyes.

But fame comes at an awful price. She has burned every bridge to get exactly what she thought she wanted. Now, all she wants is a way back home. In this riveting and highly anticipated tale of temptation, grace, and unconditional love, New York Times best-selling author Francine Rivers delivers big-canvas storytelling at its very best.

Intriguing

Loved the story line and the teen drama. You identify with the characters and feel there confusion.

Great story!

Lovely story that keeps you guessing. This narrator does a magnificent job! Definitely worth the read!!

The beauty of Redemption

This is a wonderful book of redemption and forgiveness. Francine Rivers is a marvelous story tellier. my only complaint is that I wanted the book to move a littoe faster. So really it is 4 1/2 stars for the story and overall.

Inspiring story that held my attention

I truly enjoyed this book from Aubra’s self doubt and to finding herself it was a very good book.

The Patience of Job

This book was a good lesson on patience & believing God will work situations out for our good of it’s his will.

I really enjoyed it

You can tell if a audio book is good if you get home from a long commute and you sit in your driveway for a few more minuets because you want to know what happens next. That was my experience with this book. Well written and well read

WoW!

Great story.!! Compelling and Encouraging!! Reminds us how lost most humans are.. and how Loving and Forgiving God is!!

good story line but weak main character

the story line itself was good but I often found myself frustrated with Aubra because she never spoke up for herself she never tried to change her situation until the very end and she came across as weak and spineless to me even though I don't think she was intended to be. The narrator wasn't my fav but bearable. I love Francine Rivers but this wasn't my favorite of her stories.

Ahh, Francine Rivers

I love how Francine Rivers weaves human brokenness and God's grace so artfully together. This read was entertaining and thought provoking. I'm drawn to examine my own sin, the character of God, and his plan for my life while reading.

Typically Wonderful Francine rivers book
