House on Sand

De: Debby Handman

Narrado por: Debby Handman

Ellie Gold believed her husband's affair meant her life was over, but sometimes the road to true love leads through the heart of the storm.

Ellie Gold did not know her house was built on sand until the storm arrived.

The rhythm of family life has lulled Ellie Gold into a sense of false security, allowing her to ignore the tremors beneath the surface of her marriage. When Davis, her husband of 15 years and the pastor of South Hills Church confesses his affair with her 19-year-old niece, Mariah, he is not motivated by repentance. He needs Ellie to manage his out of control, emotionally unstable mistress because she now threatens suicide.

Ellie, summoned by a sense of Christian duty, stands on the pedestrian bridge and begs Mariah not to jump into the frigid water below. "He never loved you!" Her niece's words echo in her ear on automatic replay. Maybe she should just let her jump? In her moment of deepest humiliation, Ellie cannot help but wonder, where is God now?

Like a sparrow struck by lightning, Ellie Gold falls from the sky. Only through the promise of new love with her neighbor Levi and a growing friendship with a sisterhood of prayer warriors will Ellie find her way back on the road to recovery.

Fantastic reading—-Fantastically inspiring

The reader of this book can also sing so that the book has some real moments of reality. This is a story of loss but of finding God even in the midst of pain and betrayal.

Hope Arises Out of Crushing Heartbreak

Secrets and betrayal cannot stay hidden forever. The author describes a heartbreaking betrayal vividly and authentically, yet maintains a resilience and healing path through positive friendships, faith in a higher power, and determination to move forward. While we can’t control the evil that happens to us we can determine our attitude and resolve to move forward. I highly recommend this read to anyone who has suffered a betrayal!

Heartwarming and incredibly entertaining!

I friend recommended this book to me last year and it instantly became one of my favorites. What I love about this story is the raw and honest portrayal of heartbreak and betrayal. Anybody who has experience betrayal will be able to relate to this book, but what made this stand out for me is just how entertaining it is. I won’t give away any spoilers, but let’s just say inspirational books usually aren’t this entertaining.

When I saw that it was available on Audible and narrated by the author herself, I had to order it. The narration is very clear and engaging. I generally prefer fasting pacing and I found that changing it to 1.1X speed was just right for me and it didn’t cause in any noticeable distortion. I highly recommend it!
