"A wonderful fictional memoir with many twists and turns. Written with an overwhelming joyful approach, this story sparkles with life." (Romantic Times)

Well written story with many unexpected turns

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It captured me from the very first chapter and kept my interest throughout the entire book! The author has a way of keeping you in suspense and not giving away the ending until the very last chapter. The characters became very real and I could feel their pain, their disappointment and their hopes and dreams as I listened. The only thing that I was not very fond of was the narrator. The voices of the characters were not especially well done, but the book held such a great story that I had no trouble listening and anticipating what each chapter would bring. I would highly recommend this book. It has some very good biblical principles that we would be wise to ponder.

Beyond excellent

this book has become instantly the best book I've ever read ...
or listened to.

i could picture each character!

The narrator made the story live. With each change of voice-believable !
It is Christian fiction and I liked the way the beliefs were woven into the story. It would be nice to at least try to take some of the "try to think of it this way".
We(my husband and I) enjoyed it very much.

God's love

I have not been reading and listening to books for long but love the storyline and God and love.

LOVED IT!

This was a beautiful story. I cried, laughed and cried again. Very heart-warming with some good "life lessons". Ruth Ann Phimister is won of my favorites as well as Lynn Austin.
