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!

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.

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.

I couldn’t stop listening!

Every time I thought I had unraveled a plot twist, Lynn Austin was one step ahead of me. Such an enjoyable ride! I love how she incorporates the truths of Scripture with a gentle hand in her character’s lives. This was a wholesome and delightful listening experience.

Enjoyable

This was a nice read. I would get into the story and then it would switch to another time with a different character. Then it seemed I had to start at a new point and it would take a bit to get into that storyline. I think it happened nine times throughout the book. A little "jumpy" for a storyline but enjoyable.
