About this listen

Just a week before their marriage, Christine's fiance calls off the wedding, leaving her heartbroken. With hopes of helping her through a difficult time, Christine's best friend Jessica enrolls them both on a humanitarian mission in Peru, to work at an orphanage called El Girasol, The Sunflower.

It is while working at the orphanage that Christine meets Paul Cook, a successful and charismatic American doctor who has fled the States after one fatal day took away his career, his faith, and the woman he loved.

Unplanned events lead Paul and Christine into the jungle of the Amazon, where Christine must confront her deepest fears, and she, and Paul, must both learn to trust and love again.

This is a simplistic story, but incredibly hard to put down. In the end, this book stayed with me and inspired me more than I thought it would. I strongly recommend it.

Simple but memorable

Would you listen to The Sunflower again? Why?

I would listen to the story again because as a nurse, I plan to retire and provide care and love to others. In this story, the protagonist does that out of love and healing for himself.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When the female protagonist came back to be with the love of her life.

Any additional comments?

Will be reading The Promise by same author next.

loved it. I listened to the book recently and found it as fascinating as when I read it previously. Generally I enjoy the book and then listen to it or see the movie. The book almost always is my favorite. I really did love the audible as well.

I have re-read this bookover again.
