Through Dust and Ashes

Oregon Promise, Book 1

By: Lynnette Bonner

Narrated by: Aimee Lilly

Fleeing the cruelty of her abusive husband, Mercy embarks on a perilous journey with her four-year-old son, seeking refuge in the company of a grieving family. Grief that is only compounded when Mercy’s husband catches up to them. In the span of one moment, tranquility is crushed beneath the boot of brutality.

Now, Mercy must navigate the treacherous terrain of her heart, torn between two men she’s bound to by debt and duty.

Micah, haunted by a love extinguished too soon and shackled by a sorrow that makes God seem distant, is gruff but protective and ignites a flame of yearning in the ash heap of her soul.

Gideon, though he finds solace in his faith, bears scars of his own. His gentle friendship awakens desires she thought long buried.

Join Mercy, Micah, and Gideon as they discover that amidst the dust and ashes of their pasts, the promise of a new beginning awaits those who dare to choose faith.

The terrible start to her life!

That she finally found love and someone to take good care of her and her son!

Exceptional!

Lynnette Bonner is a gifted Christian historical fiction writer. Each series is endearing and captures your attention from beginning to end. Narrator brings all the characters to life!

Real Life!

Lynette Bonner has a way of taking some of the hardest and sorrow crushing experiences come to life in her books. I have never read a book full of anguish, sorrow, and Hope. Women are abused by their husbands and children live in fear of their father every day in our world now and back on the days of the Oregon Trail too. Her knowledge of scripture and knowing God well made this book come to life in so many ways. Can’t wait to start the next one.

Great story

So great to listen to Christian books, beautiful story line, sure didn’t want to stop listening. Recommend for everyone.

fantastic book!

Well written book and the narrator did a great job reading. You're drawn in from the beginning and it is hard to stop listening. I love how God is intertwined within the book and you can see how the characters grow throughout the book. Looking forward to the next in the series.
