Passing Strangers

By: Angela Hunt

Narrated by: Lia Frederick

A train roars over the rails, carrying passengers on a trip that will change their lives. Among the many people aboard the 97 Silver Meteor are Andie Crystal, a lonely young woman hiding from her youth as a reality TV star; Matthew Scofield, a widower trying to manage his responsibilities to his two young children; and Janette Turlington, a middle-aged mother running from a situation that has destroyed the peace in her home and marriage.

These three form a makeshift family on an Amtrak tour through the Southern seaboard, a journey that just might heal their wounded hearts and restore them to the people to whom they matter most....

Excellent

What made the experience of listening to Passing Strangers the most enjoyable?

The story was very captivating. It never lagged or was boring. The reader did a very good job and each character was fully portrayed.

What did you like best about this story?

The story was a Christian book, but not preachy. Each main character had a problem that was finally resolved. Only one main character was a Christian in the book, but it left you with hope for the others.

What about Lia Frederick’s performance did you like?

She was able to portray each person with a difference so you didn't feel like it was just being read to you. You felt like you could hear each person speak

If you could rename Passing Strangers, what would you call it?

Finding Friends

Any additional comments?

Highly recommend. My first book with audible. Made the whole experience worthwhile. Listened to the whole book in one sitting.

Good book

I liked the message of the book a lot but there were some parts of it that were a bit kookie. Like the man/angel visiting her. Also, I wasn't to keen on the narrator. It sounded like she messed up reading a lot.
It was a good book to listen to but just not my favorite.

Christian Fiction

This is a wonderful story, weaving together the lives of three families and three adults, dealing with family problems and challenges. One woman had spent her life, trying to stay out of her famous family's limelight--to finally realize through the help of two other train travelers, that family is important, no matter how difficult. Another woman had run away from her family situation; she could not deal with her daughter's emotional problems and abuse any longer. Through the course of her trip, with the friendship of the other traveler's and a divine encounter, she finds courage to face a life-threatening situation. The final passenger is dealing with the loss of his wife--the one who cared for his two children and without whom he did not know how to cope or interact with his kids. Their encounter on the train changes all of their lives for the good and forms lasting relationships. A very enjoyable story, excellently crafted and narrated. It is uplifting and gives life lessons on relationships and how necessary people are to each other. I would recommend this book. It is my first audible experience and definitely not my last. I received this book through TBCN in exchange for an honest review.

A very enjoyable read

A refreshing story. No bad language etc. 3 ordinary people each with a personal struggle. They are basically thrown together and a wonderful friendship develops. They learn that nothing is too hard with loyal friends.
