Fun & Poignant & Thoroughly Enjoyable

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Just an absolutely charming story and not fluff. The good core richness of life, learning, love and faith. Endurance and coming to live beyond oneself. Marvelous. Loved it.

Sweet story

This was a fun listen. It took awhile for the setup of the characters and the storyline but the story turned out very rich and full. Very enjoyable.

Fantastic!

Best narration ever! My very favorite. The narrator knows and enjoys her character very well. The story has humor, suspense, romance, vivid characterizations, smooth storyline/plot, and redemptive themes.

Really good, started slow but ended well.

Didn't like the characters at first, but grew to really like them and really enjoyed the book. Narrator is good, no distractions or annoyances. On to the next Lynn Austin book!

Lovely

This book was wonderful. I love the way that the author was the story. Her word choice and lyrical almost fairytale inclusions of hints about what would happen with the story amazing. I was intrigued we cannot wait to hear what would happen next. The characters were lifelike. The author brought the characters to life as well. Her voices and emotion made it enjoyable to listen to.
