Gripping and Sobering

Revisado: 03-17-15

What did you love best about Torn Asunder?

This is truly a gripping as well as a sobering story. As I read about the characters and the difficulties they faced, I had to keep stopping to pray for Christians in North Korea and around the world who really are going through situations like that right now. This is fiction, but it reflects the hard fact of religious persecution that most of us in the West seldom think about. Though many of the events in the story were extremely unpleasant, the book is nevertheless an interesting read and was hard to put down. The characters are vivid and so real that I felt I knew them personally. The author has done a beautiful job of bringing romance and hope out of a dark and serious story.

Any additional comments?

If you enjoy this book, you may want to read the other two in her series as well. All of them can stand alone, but they do share a few characters and settings. I enjoyed the others and highly recommend them all.

Deeply Moving

Revisado: 11-05-13

If you could sum up The Beloved Daughter in three words, what would they be?

powerful, moving, heartbreaking

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Beloved Daughter?

There were a couple of startling revelations. I don't want to give any details and ruin the story for those who haven't read/listened to it yet!

Have you listened to any of Kathy Garver’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me cry in several places.

Any additional comments?

I was deeply moved by Beloved Daughter. The story is gritty and heartbreaking in places, but at the same time touching and inspiring. It burdened me to pray more for the people of North Korea, especially Christ's followers who have been imprisoned and are enduring unspeakable suffering for their faith. I really think all Christians ought to hear this story, especially those who don't know much about what's going on in other parts of the world. Now I can't wait for the sequel! Oh, and the problem with the chapters being out of order has apparently been fixed, as I didn't have any trouble with them.
