A dream come true....

Katy Hart is thrilled about her future with Hollywood's Dayne Matthews. But as she plans a wedding and looks for a house on the shores of Lake Monroe, she receives tragic news. Now everything about the future they planned together is hanging in the brink. Only a miracle can help them find their way through.

A public struggle....

Now Katy and the Baxters must travel to Los Angeles and sort through their options. While paparazzi open fire on the Baxter family, Luke Baxter helps field requests from the media. At the same time, he must wrestle with feelings that have troubled him for nearly a year.

A family's indying love....

Ultimately, the Baxter family must pull together one last time in an act of service, a labor of love to help Katy and Dayne find what they've always longed for - a chance at forever.

Firstborn series 5 books

This was the best series of books I’ve read. Forever culminates the series perfectly. There are a few lows but many more highs. Family life is pictured as it should be with God in the center.

well thought out story line.

The story was very engaging and drew me in. The characters were well developed and the story line was focused on Godly concepts. I can't wait to read the next story about the Baxters and there lives, and what happens next in their lives.

Wonderful series!

I have always loved Karen Kingsbury’s novels and this is just another remarkable series. I have come to know and love the Baxters and I can never wait to hear more of the story. I have laughed and cried and rejoiced along with them. Something I don’t think I’ve ever done for a novel series. I love the faith that is shown and scripture shared. I can’t wait to start the next set!

Great series!

I love the narrator’s performance. She draws you into the story even further than just reading it. Love the whole Baxter series thus far.

Good book too short

I like following the story of Dayne and Katie it reflects the surprises and struggles of life but with God in its midst. It makes you think of how lucky you might be. It shows that forgiveness is enlightening. The narration was good but it was just too short. Can't wait till the next story. This is a clean book so no sex scenes which I enjoy.

Excellent Christian Book Series

Another winner by Karen Kingsbury which exceeded my expectations. You must begin with The Baxter Family Book series 5 Books all titles begin with R. Then move on to this series of 5 all beginning with F. Finally read Coming Home. You will be caught up in the Faith, Hope, Love, heartache, and Overcoming of this wonderful Christian Family

excellent story

the Baxter's could have been my family. karen kingsbury keeps to the way real life and real family dynamics occur. it inspired me to be a better Christian , wife, mother, and sister.

the only draw back I have with this entire series of audible audio books is that they were not available in unabridged. I always feel like I'm being told a story instead of being able to get into their lives and be a part of the story.

the narrator, sandra Parr, is by far top notch and does a wonderful job. she is a woman of many voices, and can evoke emotion better than any other narrator I have listened to.
