Story
When Connor Larkin boards a late-night bus in downtown LA, he's not sure where he's going or what he's looking for. Putting his acting career - and his fiancée - on hold, he's searching for something he can't define, a part of himself he lost on the road to success. Once he dreamed of being a singer in the classic style of Sinatra and Bennett. But his lean good looks soon landed him in movies as the sexy bad guy - and in the arms of a famous young heiress. Now, with his wedding day approaching, Connor finds himself stepping into the sleepy seaside town of Miramar Bay.

The Jesus movement of the '70s was a heady time. It was a time of Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell. It was a time of the Doobie Brothers telling us that “Jesus Is Just Alright with Me”, and Norman Greenbaum singing about a “Spirit in the Sky”. It was a time when Jesus was going to return any day, according to the best-selling book The Late Great Planet Earth. It was a time of the Rapture, Armageddon, and the Antichrist. Dave Warnock’s faith took root during this intoxicating era.

A Semi-Realistic Look at Bipolar Disorder
This is definitely a Christian novel, which at times made me itch a little due to the in-your-face style that Ms. Strobel sometimes uses. Her background in church life comes honestly, though. Her husband was my favorite teaching pastor at Willow Creek Church in South Barrington, IL for several years.
Her main characters were a bit heavy-handed in their thoughts and actions, along with an almost unrealistic storyline when they showed their utter cluelessness in so many areas.
Overall, Ms. Strobel manages to keep the action heading somewhat in a forward direction. The growth of both characters is a little questionable, at least for such a short time span as it was in the book.
Ann Richardson was decent as the reader, though she did not use different voices for characters, which made the delivery a bit more flat than exciting.
Overall the novel is decent, though not outstanding.

Compelling life story
Have you ever second-guessed your career choices? Has your faith been tested.
This story is about a young couple who discover that the reasons behind their career choices proved to be driven by their relationships with their parents. Battling self-doubt and health issues further compounds things. Their faith is in themselves, their relationship and their God is tested.
I think many people can relate.
This book was so compelling that I couldn’t stop listening to it!

Mediocre story, mediocre narration

The friendly small Nebraska town. Amelia's selfish attitude.

Eliminate the long stretches of thoughts about self doubt and angst.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Ann Richardson?
Someone with more expression and feeling in her voice.
Could you see Composing Amelia being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No.

Story
When struggling novelist James Hernandez meets poet Louisa "Lou" Bell, he's sure he's just found the love of his life. There's just one problem: she's engaged to his oldest friend, Rob. So James toasts their union and swallows his desire. As the years pass, James's dreams always seem just out of reach - he can't finish that novel, can't mend his relationship with his father, can't fully commit to a romantic relationship. He just can't move on.

There, she devotes her time to teaching in the writing program at Brooklyn University and overanalyzing her past failed relationships.
