The story is so well told and so good at pointing the reader to Jesus and the ways faith can be lived out day-to-day without being trite. Real, relatable characters. Life changing insights. I recommend it highly. The narrator is excellent.

Love this series!
I absolutely loved this book! The characters I fall in love with & I laugh & cry as I listen. I also love the biblical practices & I've learned things that I've put in place in my own life. The story line leaves me wanting more, and I literally cried out "no!" when the book ended. I truly care about these characters as crazy as it sounds. I cannot wait for the final book! I also love that some of it takes place in Michigan as it's where I'm from & live today. I think the narrator does a fantastic job as well. Very highly recommend this listen! I can't wait to check out more of Sharon's books. THANK YOU!!
