The Disappearances

By: Linda Byler

Narrated by: Piper Goodeve

Sadie may be married now, but she's as spirited as ever, and her life is no less tame. In fact, soon after she and Mark are settled into the farmhouse Mark is renovating, she's visited by three FBI agents who question her about the two children who mysteriously appeared one day at the ranch. Before the agents leave, they warn Sadie that her beloved horse, Paris, is highly valuable, and that she and Mark may be in grave danger because of Paris.

This news, on top of Mark's unexpected black moods, leaves Sadie sometimes wishing she could go home, "lay her head on Mam's shoulder, and ask why she hadn't warned her". But when Sadie is kidnapped at gunpoint by two men in ski masks, her stubborn strength is tested beyond her imagining. Mark disappears emotionally without warning. Now Sadie has disappeared, leaving Mark and her family wracked with worry. And Anna, Sadie's youngest sister, desperate for Neil Hershberger's attention, refuses to eat, plagued by an eating disorder as she fades away. And yet Mark's younger brother, Timothy, appears, bringing unexpected life and hope to the family. Mercifully, healing and courage reappear in unexpected times and places in this concluding volume of the Sadie's Montana series.

Redeeming Love

I like the way Linda writes about problems that aren't just swept under Christian platitudes, but are rather addressed in all their seriousness as love helps guide hurting people toward redemption. I was happy when Sadie began to confront Mark, but would like to see her learn she is not to blame for his moods.

The narrator is pleasing to listen to and does good character voices. There were a few times when her performance lacked the strong emotion described in the story. Still she makes the story come alive in an easy to listen to way.
