Emotional

While I enjoyed the Pro-life message, it came at the expense of the aboration of two babies (very sad face). While one lady had a very ho-hum attitude about it, the orher was very distraught about her decision which ultimately lead her to the Lord and a relationship with him (happy face). This storyline has a lot of ups and downs, twists and turns and emotions. I did like the overall redemption message, because the Lord loves us no matter what and He will forgive us if we ask.

Where It All Began

This is about Sandra and her boyfriend living together before marriage. Sandra became pregnant and had an abortion. Her boyfriend broke up with her. She meet Henry on a blind date.They fell in love and married. She became saved but found out she could have children. It broke her heart. I loved the story and how it ends I highly recommend listening to this book.

What an emotional read!

So many emotions in this book! It is a good story of forgiveness! I can't say too much or it would be a spoiler so that is the only thing I will say along withit should be on your TBR list.

Heartache & love

I was given a copy of this audio book for an honest review. This sweet, christian romance novel is written by Lorana Hoopes & narrated beautifully by Corry Reynolds. Once again, Lorana delivers a dynamic story that tests the characters beliefs and commitments with a few gut punches. I loved listening to the first book in the Heartbeat series.

Wonderful Christian Story

Loved it. I was laughing in parts and crying in parts. Loved the voice of the narrator.

good

Excellent story, the audible voices were fantastic. I enjoyed this story very much. I would recommend this story.

beautiful love story

A well written beautifully narrated story.  This engaging storyline is a standalone but gives  great background and insight into the town and characters if the blue moon series. This amazing love story takes you back to where it all began, moving, emotional, romantic and just plain out addicting from beginning to end.  The characters are interesting and well developed with great chemistry. 

Sweet Christian Romance

This story touches on the effect abortion had on Sandra's life. Everything seemed to fall apart! DrInking , nightmares. Until Henry came into her life. He showed her compassion, love and God's love. Henry showing and teaching her how Gods love is always in his heart..How God will forgive. A loving story between Man, woman, and letting God lead in their lives. A beautiful story of love by Lorana Hoopes and the narration was superb by Corry Reynolds. I was gifted the audio book and offered my honest review.

An amazing story by Lorana Hoopes

An amazing story written by Lorana Hoopes and a good narration done by Corry Reynolds.

Heart-warming story

Where it All Began is a thought-provoking book in Lorana Hoopes Heartbeats series. And if the rest of the books in the series is as good as this first one, I look forward to reading them. The reader is quickly drawn into the drama of Sandra as she finds she is pregnant, chooses abortion and then lives with the aftermath of grief and guilt. The author seems to have a good handle on the emotions and reactions of an individual (and those around her) who make this choice, making the story realistic and relatable. This is definitely a story of how God can make beauty from ashes which brings hope to each one of us. It is a story of forgiveness and healing that readers who enjoy reading second chance stories will not want to miss Where It All Began. I listened to a complimentary copy of the audiobook and Corry Reynolds does a nice job narrating Sandra's story, making for an enjoyable listening experience. I was not required to write a review and the opinions are my own.
