Not dislike but you had to keep up with what year that chapter and what generation they were talking about. It was a great listen , but your had to keep up with each of the different characters

Multi-generational story

The stories go back and forth between generations with details that are necessary for the ending. it carries the Christian theme woven throughout the telling without preaching. The story opens you up to the tragic decisions that can occur in life and the opposite redeeming decisions that are possible. It kept my interest but not of the kind where I couldn't put it down.

Was disappointed when this book ended!

Story kept me captured. Lynn LAustin always does a good job of that!
You are getting the story of three different generations, but in reverse.... Loved it!

Excellent Christian listen!

So refreshing to listen to a book that is Christ centered. The story which spanned generations had many, many twists and turns. The narration for the most part was pretty good. As a Christian I throughly enjoy Lynn Austins stories. Great listen! !

Another wonderful book by Lynn Austin!

Where does All She Ever Wanted rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Definitely one of the best!

What was one of the most memorable moments of All She Ever Wanted?

When Kathleen realized how her memories of her family were so different from the way things were when they reconnected.

Loved it!

Another Lynn Austin winner! She can write the most interesting, engaging historical fiction of anyone I've come across. The narration makes one feel like the characters are real, and we are the voyeurs of their lives. I especially liked that Austin was not heavy-handed on the Christian theme with this one.
