Based on historical characters and events, A Sweetness to the Soul recounts the captivating story of young, spirited Oregon pioneer Jane Herbert who at the age of 12 faces a tragedy that begins a life-long search for forgiveness and love. In the years that follow, young Jane finds herself involved in an unusual and touching romance with a dreamer 16 years her senior, struggles to make peace with an emotionally distant mother, and fights to build a family of her own. Filled with heart-warming insight and glimpses of real-life pain, A Sweetness to the Soul paints a brilliant picture of love that conquers all obstacles and offers a powerful testimony to the miracle of God's healing power.

"Her research gives the book depth; her empathy gives it a soul." ( The Sunday Oregonian)

good christian book

it started a bit slow for my taste....but I kept listening. l am glad I did...goes to show how "family" is sometimes more than biologic family..rather gift of friends who support and love us through lifes journey...a wonderful gift god gives to us. narrator was fine...the authors note was definitely well worth taking the time to listen to as it has history of the family this book was based upon.

Beautifully done

I read this book years ago and really enjoyed it. I loved the audible version. The narrator was perfect and the story was lovely read aloud! Thank you

Really enjoyed this sweet sometimes hard historical fiction

I grew up in Central Oregon and new many of the areas the story depicts so it was fun to think of it on how it used to be. The protagonist is a lovely character you grow with through the story and the relationships bloom. I didn’t want the book to end it was a nice escape more me and over all leaves you with a positive feeling

Incredible story /great narration!!

What an incredible story! I LOVED the audiobook!!The narrator brought the story to life like I was sitting at the knees of my Mother! I thought it was fiction until the author’s notes at the end! I am even more in awe now! The Epilogue was so emotional and makes me want to leave more of a legacy myself! Thank you!!

A Must Read!

This is a must read! Grabs you and keeps you thru the whole story line. Feels like your standing and experiencing everything the characters are. Highly recommend!

Excellent story

I enjoyed reading about the relationship between Jane and her husband. I liked the 1800s setting.

Their kindness and generosity touched my heart

This was an amazing book. I live in Oregon, loved hearing about The Dalles, Multnomah Falls and all of the Indian stories, and kindness and love toward each other. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Must listen! So warm, beautiful and adventurous

How much you’ll love this historical fiction book ?!? It’s beautifully narrated and masterfully written. You’ll love the story, the characters and the colorful descriptions.

Glad I stuck with it

As someone who prefers reading historical fiction I loved this book and at the end you find out that it’s based on real people which makes it even better! I had a hard time following in the beginning because of the writing style but once I figured it out and the plot got rolling I was able to follow along nicely and enjoy the book. Definitely recommend.

What a story of a loving couple.
