Resumen del Editor

From the author of the best-selling Christy Miller and SisterChicks series comes a new book of community, friendship, and tackling the hard things of life with God and loved ones around a table.

Five young moms, including beloved Gunn character Christy Miller, gather to share meals and soon become unlikely best friends. The regular gatherings provide opportunities for the women to reveal their stories, and those life stories endear them to each other. They experience their lives naturally meshing as they raise their children together in community. In Becoming Us the group find ways to challenge, encourage, and help each other become the nurturing mothers they wished they'd had when they were growing up. They unite to be remembered for what they do as moms and not for what was done to them.

“Becoming Us is a sweet and beautiful tale of letting go and letting God. The characters made me, a young mom myself, feel surrounded by a group of treasured friends, as they welcomed me into the haven they created.” (Lindsay Harrel, author of The Secrets of Paper and Ink)

Everything this Christie Miller Series teen now adult dreamed up

Growing up, I read the Christie Miller Series along with Sierra’s series too. I some how missed the other character’s stories. But, as an adult, it was a fun refreshing read that brought all the nostalgic feels.

This is a great book!

Enjoyed listening to this book. I love how I can relate to this story and to trust in God through all things.

Leaning into Faith

Good book to listen to if you are working through things…big or little. It is a subtle message that God has a plan. That holding onto the past and regrets and all of that, how to let go. It’s written in a way that gets you thinking and your faith without screaming it in your face. Comforting Reminder God has a plan for each of us and will walk with us if we lean on him.
Easy read….thank you! 🐢💖

Robin Jones Gunn delivers again

I loved this book.
I listened to it slowly because of time constraints on my life lately, but I loved the story and all of the lessons it contained.
The narrator did a good job, though I didn't like it at first ... sometimes it is hard to transition to someone else voice.

Yay! Another great story!!

Yet another amazing story from Robin Jones Gunn that blesses and warms your heart in just the right way ♥️♥️♥️

Repetitive

it seemed like it just wasn't going to go anywhere at the very beginning kind of repetitive about the main characters problem getting to the point and that I enjoyed the story with the girls going on there ride in the convertible and Audra becoming a woman that was sweet but I was glad when the book was done
