Maria's Mistake

De: Barbara Goss

Narrado por: Christopher Macky

Your past mistakes are meant to guide you, not define you.

To say Maria’s life started in the worse possible way would be an understatement. Due to this misfortune, she makes the biggest mistake of her life, and it cannot be erased.

She can’t marry without confessing her mistake, and she knows that neither Carter nor Alex would accept her if they knew about it. This plays havoc with her love life. She doesn’t want a marriage based on a lie, but if she confesses her past, there may not be a wedding. Can she tell the man she loves about her mistake? Will he forgive her?

You may have met Carter and Maria in Cody’s Cure, but now they have a story of their own including a new character, Alex. This isn’t part of a series but a single book about Maria, Alex, and Carter’s struggle with her mistake.

Nice easy read

Really Great book with a good storyline. narration was really good. I would recommend it.

Forgiveness

Wonderful story with strong characters. The narrator was great. Maria has to learn to forgive herself, as God has with her history, that was not all of her fault. She needed to survive and did what she had to do. Her past is sneaking up on her and she must tell the truth. She has two suitors, Carter and Alex, but can she share that information. In order to move forward, she must, and hopes with God's grace, they will understand.
I was given a copy of this book by the author for an honest review.

Sweet story

Barbara writes a beautifully, sweet and encouraging story, I really enjoyed listening and recommend others listen.

Forgiveness!

Yes, forgiving others and oneself is something that most people don’t do often enough. Barbara Goss brings this up very clearly and handles it with all the sensitivity one could wish for in a book.
This story is so beautifully written, showing the human weaknesses so very clearly.
I loved Maria. She comes across as a really strong character, having survived being betrayed by those people in her life whom she should have been able to trust, but she does what she needs to in order to survive and then later, when she finds the love of her life, she tries so hard to come clean about her past and almost loses the best thing and person in her new life – and this is when forgiveness becomes really important to her.
This story has been written with so much compassion that I could easily feel the emotions myself.
And yes, I am most definitely recommending the book as it is a very easy read, interesting and enjoyable.
I read an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) and my review is given voluntarily.
Update 14 May 2023: I have just finished listening to the audiobook version where Christopher Macky narrates the story and brings us his easy-to-listen to voice and acting for our pleasure and enjoyment.
