Hard listen

While this was another wonderful book by Wingate it was not the best narration in my opinion. Made the story somewhat difficult to listen to.

Great read

This is an older Lisa Wingate novel. But great. As always the characters are so well developed and engaging. If you like her novels, go read the ones you have not read in the past.

Heartwarming

The relationships that develop between the characters is truly heartwarming. A great story of friendship built on hardship.

Another feel good book

The world is an insane place. Lisa Wingate’s books are like an escape to a place of calm and fresh air. Wholesome, touching, and character development that makes you feel you truly know these individuals. Lisa has a way with words.

Character development—unreal

Wingate is unreal at developing characters and connecting their story plots across multiple novels! A master at literacy, she does it again! Great story and narration!

Loved the Story

The meaning of the story and the way it is told. The narrators were excellent in being the story to life.

Much better than expected

The story was engaging and the characters were well thought out and written. I wasn’t expecting to be so taken up by this story but honestly I couldn’t put it down.
