I liked the story overall

Revisado: 02-20-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The story of Fiona and Lance is one of two people learning to trust each other. Her half-brother Al returns to town but doesn't make his name known until the end of the story. I didn't understand the part where he was not held accountable for his crimes, but it was nice to know that he decided to dedicate his life to Christ. The narrator did a nice job with the older male voices, but I thought the voices for Fiona and Lance's son were not as well done.

Now I want to read the trilogy of Song and Sorrow

Revisado: 01-09-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

John and Sarah's story was one of an age-old stories of rich versus poor. However in the story we learn that being rich monetarily doesn't mean much when one doesn't pay attention to the important things in life. John and Sarah learn to love each other and show God's love to others in this story. I like that it is set in a time period of the 1890s since I know less about that era than WWI or WWII.

Sisters learn what's important

Revisado: 12-22-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Both sisters learned important lessons in different ways. Hilde, Lily's sister, is envious of Lily's relationship with Adrian. When she meets Dirk she doesn't look at his character very closely. God saved her from a harrowing experience despite her willfulness. Lily jumped to conclusions when she saw a flirt talking with Adrian. Both sisters could have saved themselves and others unnecessary worry and trouble if they had sought God's guidance for before trying to work things out themselves. Just like us.

Don't jump to a conclusion

Quillen is set on sending his visitors packing without hearing any explanation. When Genevieve drops Quill's farm by to deliver a message for her friend, Quill runs her off by shooting at her. However they both learn a few things in the days that follow which leads to a special friendship. I think you'll enjoy reading or listening to this book as Quill and Genna learn about forgiveness, acceptance and what it means to follow God's leaning.

Even the little lies can cause trouble

Revisado: 10-22-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Inman is a hard-working and honest man, but when his brother and his brother's accomplices cause trouble, he gets himself in a "pickle" when he doesn't trust God with his life. He is forced to continue living the lie. Like all "little lies" he keeps adding to the problem when he takes the job as the sheriff and marries Amelia. Because he hasn't been honest about what happened with his brother, he doesn't reveal the truth until everything comes crashing down on him. That is so much like our lives. We happily bump along until something happens that causes us to get back on track.

Simple story with important topics

Revisado: 10-13-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I found the narrator very pleasant to listen to as she changed her voice for the different characters. The story between Dana and Leon was nicely written. I liked the way Janice Cole Hopkins covered prejudice against "foreigners" by people whose families were probably foreigners themselves not that many years before. It's important to remember to practice kindness in all situations, and I think the author did a fine job of getting the message across.

Good message in this story

Revisado: 08-03-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I think I would like this story better in print rather than as an audiobook. There were so many voices to differentiate I was confused and thought they seemed a little melodramatic at times. The wedding ceremony between Junia and Robert is one of the best I have ever heard in a book or in person. I think it would be worth buying the book just to have a permanent copy of the ceremony. Overall I enjoyed this story of the sisters who have pluck and determination to support each other in every way.

Nice story

Revisado: 08-01-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Family history does not define who we are. Boone is under the mistaken impression he should never marry or have a family because of his father and brothers fondness for alcohol. The preacher helps Boone understand through Bible passages that he gives Boone to review that he is an individual responsible for his own actions. Once Boone understands that with God guiding him, he is able to declare his love for the preacher's daughter, Lydia.
