Eve's Daughters

By: Lynn Austin

Narrated by: Kitty Hendrix

What would you do if a secret was causing your family to crumble?

Is there a secret terrible enough that it should never be revealed, not even if it was tearing a family apart? For more than five decades, Emma Bauer has kept one - carefully guarding it with all her strength, and for more than five decades, that choice has haunted her life and also the lives of her daughters and granddaughter. Is it too late for wrongs to be righted? Does Emma even have the strength to let the healing power of truth work in her family?

The story of four generations of women and the powerful effects their choices have had on their lives is at the heart of Eve's Daughters, an epic novel from author Lynn Austin. Grand in scope but tender and personal at the same time, it will please you as a fan of contemporary or historical fiction.

Exploring times from World War I to the 1980s, Eve's Daughters is an insightful look at mothers, daughters, sisters, and families that allows you to see a little bit of yourself through the characters' triumphs, struggles, and hard-tested faith.

Yearning for love, dignity, and freedom, the four generations of women must come to terms with the choices they have made. Healing comes when the past is forgiven, but only when they embrace God's forgiveness can they shatter the cycle that has ruled their lives over the decades.

great read

laughed out loud, found love, became red with anger, and bawled my eyes out... excellent story. fine book.

Another great Austin story!

Great book...Austin does it again with creative, and gifted historical detail of settings woven through all of the time periods of the book. Full of tragedy and triumph, overall a good read. Narration is good, although sometimes slower paced than I like but Hendrix does a good job representing the nationalities of voices, and does so with intent and purpose as she reads. Lots of redemptive threads in the story.

A good, wholesome story!

This book is all about family and the good, bad, and ugly that enters most relationships! I really enjoyed the story without all the sex and swearing, like a lot of books these days (you don’t need those things to tell a good and fun story)! This book made me laugh and cry, a very human story about how our sins can affect the people we love. This book points to a very loving and forgiving God if we would but put our trust in Him! We are all such frail humans and need God in our lives to survive our everyday battles!

Great story!

Loved every minute of this book!
Very long but I didn’t really want it to end.

I would recommend

Well written. The beginning started out a bit slow but as the story continued it difficult to put down, despite the voice reading the story. As a matter of preference I would have like a voice with a little more excitement. The story had some interesting twist and turns. All and all I really enjoyed it.
