Publisher's summary

A long-awaited celebration....

In preparation for their wedding day, Dayne Matthews and Katy Hart are determined to keep the ceremony a secret from the paparazzi. Their relationship grows closer and stronger as they plan together, but before the wedding, Katy and Dayne face what may be their greatest challenge. Is it possible for Katy to find a place in Dayne's world? Or could the pressures of fame rip away everything they've fought to find together?

A renewed hope....

John Baxter is thrilled that his oldest son will settle down a few miles away, but he isn't sure how any of his kids will handle a situation he can no longer run from - the feelings he's having for his friend Elaine. Amid wedding plans and other family news, John feels the hope of a breathtaking sunrise for the first time since Elizabeth's death.

A terrible tragedy....

Meanwhile, the Flanigan family is struggling with their young boarder, Cody Coleman, the star receiver on Jim Flanigan's football team. After an alcohol overdose, Cody fights for his life. Only God's grace and a miracle can bring him back from the brink of death - and bring Jim's distraught team together again.

Great storyline!! (Audio is short compared to book)

I have throughly enjoyed the Baxter’s stories!! I have laughed, cried, and rejoiced while reading them all. I will say I am pleasantly surprised at how short some of the audios (4hrs) are compared to the books. You miss a lot of detail and back story but nonetheless if you have been following the series you will know what’s going on for the most part.

I love the Baxters!

I am really enjoying this series by Karen Kingsbury. I have loved listening to the first 11 books and look forward to all the next ones I've downloaded. I mostly listen during my morning exercise walks and these make the time go really fast and not seem so grueling. I get so wrapped up in the characters and stories it is hard to turn it off when the walk is over. The Baxters have struggles like everyone else but they rely on God and their faith to get them thru the hard times and are grateful for the blessings that come when their prayers are answered. Ms. Kingsbury writes each character so well I almost feel like I know these people! If you like good wholesome stories about family and friends and faith, you will enjoy all the books about the Baxter family.

Just beautiful. Sandra Burr does an amazing job on all the voices.

Karen Kingsbury I love the way to pull the reader in and they feel as these characters are part of their lives. Thank you for writing such wholesome entertaining stories.

unrealistic

I couldn't enjoy it bc it was not something I could interest myself in. It's full of dreamers and all their dreams seem to come true. It's fodder for a young woman's unrealistic expectations and fuel for that 7 year itch during which she begins to cry, where's my Boaz?

Karen Kingsbury is a phenomenal writer. It doesn't matter if you have read the Baxter story before, you'll want to find all the books and piece them together! I enjoy reading these stories. Listening to them on audio was a different experience for me. I'm excited to continue the Sunrise series.
