How can you choose which dream to follow? Newlyweds Amelia and Marcus are recent college graduates, working hard to stay afloat in Los Angeles while they search for their dream jobs. Marcus, with an MDiv, seeks a pastoral position at a large multicultural city church Amelia has a music degree and hopes to play piano professionally. But God has other plans. When a small church in a small Nebraska town offers Marcus a job, their dedication to their dreams - and to each other - is put to the test. Leaving the city means putting aside Amelia’s career in favor of Marcus’s, and it’s hardly fair, but their compromise is worse, driving Amelia to the brink of a mental breakdown. As Amelia struggles with a reality that will change her life forever, Marcus makes a discovery that leads him to question every hope he’s had for his own life. What will they do with the new lives they’ve been handed? Will their marriage - and their own identities - survive?

Her main characters were a bit heavy-handed in their thoughts and actions, along with an almost unrealistic storyline when they showed their utter cluelessness in so many areas.
Overall, Ms. Strobel manages to keep the action heading somewhat in a forward direction. The growth of both characters is a little questionable, at least for such a short time span as it was in the book.
Ann Richardson was decent as the reader, though she did not use different voices for characters, which made the delivery a bit more flat than exciting.
Overall the novel is decent, though not outstanding.

This story is about a young couple who discover that the reasons behind their career choices proved to be driven by their relationships with their parents. Battling self-doubt and health issues further compounds things. Their faith is in themselves, their relationship and their God is tested.
I think many people can relate.
This book was so compelling that I couldn’t stop listening to it!
