Elianna is a young girl crushed by guilt. After her only brother is killed while in her care, Elianna tries to earn forgiveness by working for her father's textile trade and caring for her family. When another tragedy places Elianna in sole charge of the business, her talent for design brings enormous success but never the absolution she longs for. As her world unravels, she breaks off her betrothal to the only man she will ever love. Then illness strikes, isolating Elianna from everyone, stripping everything she has left.

Tessa Afshar has a gift. She brings the richness of the Bible to life. The characters, so real and endearing or maddening. She has become my new favorite author.

Geesje de Jonge crossed the ocean at age 17 with her parents and a small group of immigrants from the Netherlands to settle in the Michigan wilderness. Fifty years later, in 1897, she's asked to write a memoir of her early experiences as the town celebrates its anniversary. Reluctant at first, she soon uncovers memories and emotions hidden all these years, including the story of her one true love.

Ended Too Soon
Revisado: 07-26-17
I grab up any Lynn Austin book I can. She is among my top authors. This book as with all her books kept me listening as often as I could. The story was very good all the way through but then suddenly it ended. I don't know if Ms Austin plans a sequel (sure hope so) or not, but there's some unfinished business here. The narrators were difficult to listen to; especially the men's lines, told in a kind of staccato. If there is a sequel, may need to read it rather than listen.

Surprisingly carried away...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely! This story took me on an unexpected journey that touched so many parts of my book lover's soul.
What did you like best about this story?
The ability of this author to entertwine these 4 women's varied lives into a rich friendship despite their many obstacles.
Which scene was your favorite?
I felt like the sneaky "bug on the wall" when Rosa's vodka laced peach juice was included in the punch ingredients by her unknowing mother-in-law for her Ladies Missionary Society meeting at her house. I so wanted to join in the rollicking fun as these ladies loosened and giggled their way through the meeting. I'm sure it was touted as the best meeting ever!
2ndly...actually another 1st fave. The scene where Meinhard Kesler, a German POW working next to Jean (who harbors a deep hatred and resentment for Germans) humbles himself and asks her forgiveness for "whatever it is I have done to make you hate me". Kesler recognizes her bitterness as he was once the same...he lost his wife and son to the same war. Jean is unable to accept his plea for forgiveness. The mix of conflictive emotions this interaction brings about has powerful affects. It is dealt more with later in the book. Wow!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
My emotions were all over the map on this one...in a good way!
Any additional comments?
My first Lynn Austin book has given me an exciting new favorite Chritian fiction author with many adventures to look forward to! Love when that happens!

Allison Bottke is the creative force behind the best-selling God Allows U-Turns series and ministry. Her first novel follows Dee Decker, who in the past year has lost 150 pounds, gained a whole new wardrobe filled with designer shoes, and become a Christian. But a job offer could cause her past and present to collide in a flash of Manolo Blahniks and Prada handbags. Dee thought she had it all figured out - but can a person really be both fashionable and faithful?

I found this story to be a very fun "listen". I became a bit impatient with the main charactor but it was part of the charm. The end message was a good one. I enjoyed this authors second book even better.
