Stars Upside Down

By: Jennie Goutet

Narrated by: Nancy Peterson

At 17, Jennie Goutet has a dream that she will one day marry a French man and sets off to Avignon in search of him. Though her dream eludes her, she lives boldly - teaching in Asia, studying in Paris, working and traveling for an advertising firm in New York.

When God calls her, she answers reluctantly and must first come to grips with depression, crippling loss, and addiction before being restored. Providence takes her by the hand as she marries her French husband, working with him in a humanitarian effort in East Africa before settling down in France and building a family.

Told with honesty and strength, Stars Upside Down is a brave, heart-stopping story of love, grief, faith, depression, sunshine piercing the gray clouds - and hope that stays in your heart long after it's finished.

The truth spoken in love

Í thoroughly appreciated hearing the life story of Jennie Goutet, an author whose books I enjoy. She is experiencing a remarkable life that contains both the heartaches and trials that life contains, and the miraculous blessings of God. Her transparency and honesty encouraged me, even as I wept with the pain of losses that we both endured. Great book! Great God!

Fantastic Book

I loved this book from beginning to end. Her story is one of international adventure, personal metamorphosis, and faith. I love her honesty about how becoming a Christian did not make her life immune to the ups and downs of being human. The references to scripture were meaningful and placed at the just the right moments in the story. Beautifully done all around!
