"This is an entertaining and engaging faith-based tale sure to hit best-seller lists and the awards circuit.” ( Publishers Weekly)

My favorite book of Lynn Austin

I loved the way that this book teaches us about God’s word in a story about a fictional family. How we too can apply God’s will for our lives. Very inspiring!

Fabulous book!

I loved this historical fiction novel telling the story of women through history learning life lessons that still apply today. It was thought provoking and hard to turn off until the very end. Lynn Austin never disappoints

Wonderful!

Like always, Lynn Austin does it again. Beautiful story, multi generational. Great narration. Highly recommend.

Beautiful

At first I felt like this was slow and I was kind of uninterested. Wow am I glad I hung in there. Such a beautiful and inspiring story that I will carry with me always.

Excellent in every way!

I bought this book about a year ago but didn't really think I'd like the subjects much. First, slavery. Second, temperance. Third, suffragettes. I should have known better -- this is, after all, a Lynn Austin story and nothing about her books is ever run of the mill or uninteresting. Turns out I didn't know as much as I thought I did about these subjects. The generations of women in the story were amazing and whose biggest life lesson is reliance on God. Just like me. The narrator was excellent, too. Really gave the characters personality and depth. I think I'll read this one again someday. There's a lot to take in and ponder. Very good!

Great reader, well written historical novel t

Because this booked flipped through time a lot, listening to it was challenging at first. The talented reader helped in this regard. The story was riveting, a well spun historical novel. I enjoyed spending several days, including a road trip, with these characters.

Slow start

I actually almost returned this book more than once, but I’m so glad I persisted. It was definitely a slow build, but once it really got into the story I couldn’t stop listening. Great book, great storytelling

Fabulous Story!

The only bad part about this book is that it had to end :) The characters were wonderful and intriguing. The narration was spot on. Terrific book!!

By the cover and the name I am not going to like it!

Wait it is by Lynn Austin! I can say after reading or listening to all of Lynn Austin’s books she sucks me in! I am hooked. She makes me love history and God more and more each time I read or listen to her books! There is a down fall! She can’t write enough books for me! Thank you Lynn Austin and to audible. My house gets a lot cleaner when I am listening to your books!

Great Author!

All of her books are so intimate. The characters are well developed,and are greatly missed when the book is finished! What a great imagination! Each book is so different but the same God based theme, no vulgar sexual descriptions.
