The Baxters

De: Karen Kingsbury

Narrado por: January LaVoy, Kirby Heyborne

Now an original series on Prime Video

This warmhearted prequel to the “heart-tugging and emotional” (RT Book Reviews) #1 New York Times bestselling Baxter Family Series—now a television series—follows the family members as they face rising tensions during a wedding and a colossal storm.

A terrible storm builds in the early morning sky over Bloomington, Indiana, as Elizabeth Baxter prepares to celebrate her daughter Kari’s wedding to Tim Jacobs. It’s supposed to be the happiest of days, but Elizabeth can’t shake a growing sense of dread. Something bad is about to happen. Elizabeth knows it.

Indeed, there are dark currents of conflict and doubt coursing through each of the Baxter family, and Kari Baxter is starting to panic. Is her decision to marry Tim a mistake? Meanwhile, Kari’s brother Luke is angry and resentful of their sister Ashley, who has recently returned from Paris as a single mom. Everyone thinks Ashley spends too little time with her son, and they’re upset with her for another reason: Ashley has rejected her loyal long-ago love, Landon Blake, who clearly still cares for her. At the same time, the four Baxter sisters are struggling with the faith that has always been the family’s glue.

When the storm outside reaches a terrifying crescendo, a shocking moment of danger brings important truths to light. At the end of the long day, can the Baxters remain a family, tested but stronger?

Great story but some inconsistencies

I love Karen Kingsbury and the Baxters’ story. However this story contradicts some parts of the other books in so many ways that it drives me a little crazy.

Hope filled

narrator's were great, left you wanting to read or re-read all the books again.

Excellent Book

I love Karen’s spiritual books and this one is one of her top books. Yes, we are all sinners striving to be more Christ like, loving and accepting of others.

Amazing!

Amazing book!! Great read!!

I chose this book because I have read many of Karen Kingsbury’s books! I’ve read both Baxter series as well as many of her other titles!! They are perfect listening for road trips of which we are on right now!

Incredible.

Karen,
Thanks for this. My family has cherished your books for a lifetime. I’m a “little Smith”, Dr. Smith’s daughter, we are the Smith family from Prineville. I have been a bit distant in my faith since my dad passed. This book really helped me remember what a good God we serve. He’s now closer to the front of my mind. Thank you for that.
