The books decent

I’ve listened to a few of her books so far they all have the same theme

Just ok

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

The story was a little week, keep waiting for it to get better

Would you ever listen to anything by Gwynne Forster again?

I would

What aspect of Patricia R. Floyd’s performance would you have changed?

None didn't have a problem with the narration

Did Breaking the Ties That Bind inspire you to do anything?

Not really

Different

I like the story line of the mother it actually touched on my life a little. But I did not like how naive the main character seemed to be after growing up the way she did. I also didn't like how sheltered she seemed even though she was in her 30's. I can't imagine a woman growing up in the D.C. area and still out of touch with the culture. The story wrapped up to conveniently after all the drama then it was just happily ever after.

When enough is never enough

This book was an emotional rollercoaster, about never measuring up in the eyes of a parent. The lengths this girl went through was heartfelt & then a light bulb comes on, & she finally decides, enough is enough, & she starts accepting the reality about her relationship with herself, with God & with other significant people in her life.

Patricia Floyd is one of my favorite narrators and once again, that's how I picked this book. Gwynne Forster, I really enjoy your writing, you have the gift of touching the heart with words. I really enjoyed this book.

Very thoughtful and patient love…

Worth the read! I’m a fan of anything Patricia R. Floyd reads! I’m definitely going to look for more by Gwynne Forster!
