This I Know

By: Eldonna Edwards

Narrated by: Bailey Carr

Length: 10 hrs and 4 mins

Publisher's summary

Eleven-year-old Grace Carter has a talent for hiding things. She's had plenty of practice, burying thoughts and feelings that might anger her strict evangelical pastor father, and concealing the deep intuition she carries inside. The Knowing, as Grace calls it, offers glimpses of people's pasts and futures. It enables her to see into the depth of her mother's sadness, and even allows Grace to talk to Isaac, her twin brother who died at birth. To her wise, loving Aunt Pearl, the Knowing is a family gift; to her daddy, it's close to witchcraft.

Grace can't see into someone's thoughts without their permission. But it doesn't take her special talent to know that her small community is harboring its share of secrets. A young girl has gone missing. Within Grace's own family too, the cracks are widening, as her sisters Hope, Joy, and Chastity enjoy the normal life that eludes Grace. It's Grace's kinship with other outsiders that keeps her afloat - Lyle, a gentle, homeless man, and Lola, a free-spirited new girl at school. But when her mother lapses into deep depression after bringing home a new baby, Grace will face a life-changing choice - ignore her gift and become the obedient daughter her father demands, or find the courage to make herself heard, even if it means standing apart....

Good story

Aside from wanting to strangle her father, I enjoyed the story very much. Good pick.

Loved it

Great story, great characters, perfect narration. I enjoyed this book very much. The story moved along at a perfect pace. I felt as if I knew the place and all the people who lived there.

compelling

I would have been about the same age as Grace. Even though I didn't grow up in the midwest, the author's description of the time period is so accurate. I loved the writing, overall, the characters and a gift that is difficult to convey.
I'll be on the lookout for Eldonna Edwards' future books.

Beautifully written

This book was so beautiful and heartbreaking and joyful! An amazing book for anyone looking to lose themselves in Graces love and emotions. If you’re even thinking of purchasing this book, don’t hesitate and hit the buy button!

I loved this story.

The main character is the same age as me. I could relate to her childhood experiences. The ‘knowing’ made the book interesting. I enjoyed the narration, well done.

Incredible new author

I will be waiting for Eldonna Edwards next book !Well written,great characters and another great audible. I was immediately drawn into the life of a family that felt like my own ;I ( at age 60 something😀)ate with them ,went outside to play, went to school, and to church. This one will stay with me quiet a while. Here's to growing up, and three cheers for Eldonna Edwards taking us home again.#comingofage #feelgood #tagsgiving#Sweepstakes!

One of the best I’ve read in a long, long time! I can’t read because of increasing loss of sight. This was a delight to listen to.
