Then Sings My Soul

By: Amy K. Sorrells

Narrated by: Natasha Soudek

1904, Chudniv, Ukraine. Playing hide-and-seek in bucolic fields of sunflowers, young Jakob never imagines the horrific secrets he will carry as he and his brother escape through genocide-ridden Eastern Europe.

1994, South Haven, Michigan. At age 94, time is running out for any hope that Jakob can be free from his burden of guilt.

When Jakob’s wife dies, he and his daughter, Nel, are forced to face the realities of his worsening dementia - including a near-naked, midnight jaunt down the middle of main street - as well as emerging shadows Nel had no idea lay beneath her father’s beloved, curmudgeonly ways.

While Nel navigates the restoration and sale of Jakob’s dilapidated lake house, her high school sweetheart shows up in town, along with unexpected correspondence from Ukraine. And when she discovers a mysterious gemstone in Jakob’s old lapidary room, Jakob’s condition worsens as he begins having flashbacks about his baby sister from nearly a century past.

As father and daughter race against time to discover the truth behind Jakob’s fragmented memories, the God they have both been running from shows that he redeems not only broken years, but also the future.

well worthwhile!

I had never read this author before. She is a nurse and an author and I was not disappointed... pretty awesome combination! Well spun tale.

My new favorite audiobook

I’ve already listened to it twice! Ms. Sorrells does an amazing job transmitting the experience of coming back around to grace, as opposed to preaching it like a lot of these books do. I was moved to tears at least 3 times, and once had a full-on cry (the kind that makes you feel amazing). And the narrator was extraordinary. Ms. Soudek is now my new favorite narrator. She doesn’t overplay anything, and uses her voice like a soulful and gentle instrument of grace. Also she did an amazing job on the accents and foreign language parts, which sucked me into the authenticity of the book even more. I pray these two work together again for more audiobooks in the future! Thank you, Ms. Sorrells and Ms. Soudek! What a team!
