Critic reviews

"The joy of this novel is in Heitzmann's competent voice, engaging characters and many original touches." (Publishers Weekly)

My addiction

I have read this book 3 times over and listened to it 3 times now. The reader does a very good job narrating just the way I imagined it as I read it myself. The story is timeless and addictive, and brings me hope brand new each time. I hope there's a sequel out there, but it is perfect just the way it is.

Sweet Story

Light story with some mystery, perhaps best for a older teen or early twenties reader.

Fabulous narration of a fabulous book!

I've listened to just enough audiobooks to know that many narrators are not truly up to the job. Katherine Kellgren is not only better than all I have listened to so far, but she even is capable of singing when there are songs. (Perhaps this is minor, but to me, it takes away something if a song is in the text and the lyrics are just spoken). Her voices and intonations are all perfect. She reads ahead, unlike a number of narrators, so she knows how to speak a line before the text indicates what emotion, etc, is needed.

This story is one of Kristen Heitzmann's best, filled with the mystery and faithfulness of God. Her novel contains excellent characterizations, realistic faith conversations, and redemption fills the pages.

Love this story!

This book is so cherished and has become an annual tradition around Christmas to read or listen to.
