Well written, just not my favorite
Howard's skill with a pen is again on display. She always has vivid characters and realistic situations. Perhaps it was my mood, but I found the whole tone of this book to be sad and depressing. It did keep my interest, I wanted to know how things would work out for the characters. I also found the ending redeeming and good. The narrator was skillful and did a good job.
Overall, I would say if you're in the mood for a more serious, realistic story with a good ending, this would be a great choice.

Good story!
This book was good! The main character’s tension and stress could be felt, and though I wanted to yell at her, I could also sympathize with her and wanted her to succeed. And I couldn’t help wondering if the author was related to a pastor, because she nailed some of the biggest struggles pastors face! (I may have also wanted to yell at the pastor a bit when I saw what he was doing to his family and to himself!)
The narrator also did a good job of telling the story! The only downside was that most of the male characters tended to sound alike, with a sort of scruffy, scratchy voice. (of course, a woman doing a man’s voice is challenging!) The narrator did a great job of bringing the characters to life and letting their emotions coming through the voices.

Sweet
Sweet story of redemption. The reader made the story sound like a book that is read during library time in grade school, and the wrap up have the impression that becoming a believer would make your troubles go away and there would be no consequence paid for one's wrong doings. But the story was sweet and the point to accept Christ was the point.

Story of forgiveness and reconciliation
DEEP BLUE SEA by Valerie Howard
This book was very well written and the narration was very well done. 4.5*
I have enjoyed all of the books that I have read by Valerie Howard, and this is no exception. This book is about mistakes that were made many years ago, but never revealed. These mistakes effect her in ways that could have grave consequences and affect her in many ways.
I loved the way that the main character was pulled into the gospel, and learned how the Lamb of God was her substitute sacrifice.
I received this audiobook free with no requirement of review. I am reviewing this book of my own accord and am giving my honest opinion.
