For years, the town of Silver Bell, Arkansas has quietly mourned the hospital fire that claimed the lives of nine of its residents—the town doctor, a young expectant mother, and seven infants. So, when journalist Finn Hardwick is assigned the story as part of a national thirtieth anniversary memorial service, he arrives at the town ready to interview its residents, thinking they’ll be ready to share and eager to make headlines.

Wonderful WW1 Book
- By Jennifer on 05-11-19

Publisher's summary
Can you be faithful to God when your experiences don’t match your expectations?
Based on the true story of the charismatic leader of the Sunshine Rescue Mission, Larimer Street is the triumphant, epic tale of one man’s courage and redemption through his weaknesses and failures. There is power in going through - in surviving. And in the final analysis, losing some battles but winning the war.
Larimer Street, downtown Denver, 1907 - Jim Goodheart, a tall and handsome man, loses everything. Staggering in drunkenness and desperation on a dark night in November, he decides to drink a bottle of carbolic acid and make room in the world for a better man. Jim stumbles onto the doorstep of the rescue mission on Larimer Street, Denver’s skid row.
In spite of Jim’s lifelong battle with alcoholism, by divine redemption, he becomes known as the captivating leader of the Sunshine Rescue Mission. Through World War I and the horrific 1918 influenza epidemic, the mission serves the destitute in an era without safety nets or social programs. The pain of WWI and his personal war against alcoholism brings him to the point of losing it all again, except his loving wife, Ada, and his faith.
Larimer Street is a story of courage and redemption. It is not a story of Jim’s success over his challenges, but a story of triumph through his weaknesses and failures.
Fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken will enjoy this riveting saga of history, faith, and love.

On any particular day, thousands upon thousands of people pass through New York City's Grand Central Terminal, through the whispering gallery, beneath the ceiling of stars, and past the information booth and its beckoning four-faced clock, to whatever destination is calling them. It is a place where people come to say hello and good-bye. And each person has a story to tell.

Eighteen-year-old Robert Weekes is a practitioner of empirical philosophy - an arcane, female-dominated branch of science used to summon the wind, shape clouds of smoke, heal the injured, and even fly. Though he dreams of fighting in the Great War as the first male in the elite US Sigilry Corps Rescue and Evacuation Service - a team of flying medics - Robert is resigned to mixing batches of philosophical chemicals and keeping the books for the family business in rural Montana, where his mother, a former soldier and vigilante, aids the locals.

I laughed and cried both!
I laughed and cried both! As a Denver Metro resident that loves the history of this area I saw much of my grandpa in this story that also lived in Denver in the early 1900's. I drive many of the streets daily including Larimer and pass the Denver Rescue Mission. I thoroughly enjoyed listening. Thank you for writing this book.

I wish I could give a ten star review
Don’t read (or listen to) this book unless you are prepared to be swept away in the true story of a man who trudged through the storms of life while feeling unworthy, not knowing he was leaving footprints behind him.
This book has everything. It is a bit earthy (I was a little uncomfortable at times.). It is historical. It reads like a novel and yet is a biography. It is insightful. And you can’t read this book without being inspired. Everyone who reads this book will be a better person for it. I consider it a masterpiece because it has all the elements of a truly well written book. The narrator is amazing and even has a good singing voice. His pace and inflections are some of the best I have heard on Audible.

Couldn’t Listen to the Reader
I tried, I really did. There was just something about the readers voice or how he read that I didn’t like. I listen to books all day 4 days a week and sometimes it just can’t listen to a certain reader. This was one of those books.
