House on Sand

De: Debby Handman

Narrado por: Debby Handman

Ellie Gold thought she understood the rhythm of her life. A steady marriage. A familiar church. A beautiful family she believed was secure.

When her husband of fifteen years confesses an affair with a close family member, the revelation shatters everything she trusted.

In the aftermath, a single moment on a freezing river bridge leaves her asking the question she has avoided for years: where is God when everything you believe in falls apart? With two young sons depending on her, Ellie must keep moving forward even as her world unravels.

As Ellie navigates grief, shame, and the long road back to herself, unexpected friendships with a circle of women who refuse to let her disappear, and a tentative connection with an enigmatic neighbor, offer no easy answers. Only the fragile possibility that healing does not come all at once. It comes in fragments. In courage. And in choosing to stand again after even the worst betrayal.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The cast of characters in this story will remind you of the importance of friendship, prayer, and beautiful second chances.” (Melanie Campbell, author of One Woman Falling)

Hope Arises Out of Crushing Heartbreak

Secrets and betrayal cannot stay hidden forever. The author describes a heartbreaking betrayal vividly and authentically, yet maintains a resilience and healing path through positive friendships, faith in a higher power, and determination to move forward. While we can’t control the evil that happens to us we can determine our attitude and resolve to move forward. I highly recommend this read to anyone who has suffered a betrayal!

Fantastic reading—-Fantastically inspiring

The reader of this book can also sing so that the book has some real moments of reality. This is a story of loss but of finding God even in the midst of pain and betrayal.

Heartwarming and incredibly entertaining!

I friend recommended this book to me last year and it instantly became one of my favorites. What I love about this story is the raw and honest portrayal of heartbreak and betrayal. Anybody who has experience betrayal will be able to relate to this book, but what made this stand out for me is just how entertaining it is. I won’t give away any spoilers, but let’s just say inspirational books usually aren’t this entertaining.

When I saw that it was available on Audible and narrated by the author herself, I had to order it. The narration is very clear and engaging. I generally prefer fasting pacing and I found that changing it to 1.1X speed was just right for me and it didn’t cause in any noticeable distortion. I highly recommend it!
