Hidden Places

I truly enjoyed this audiobook. The character is a widow who falls on hard times and thru the support of her family and neighbors, finds a solution to her hard times. There is a love story thrown in that is really sweet. I had a hard time cutting it off when I got to my destination.

One of My Faves

I had this in my Wish List for quite awhile, and couldn't decide if I really wanted it. I'm glad I finally got it; it was really great. I loved all the characters, and the way they were presented. The story flowed in a logical way to an ending I hadn't figured on, and way too soon. I found myself wanting to really get to know these folks. I highly recommend this book.

Christian Focus

This was very light reading and easily predictable. The story bogs down in some parts, especially the description of the protagonist’s early life.
What I found tiring and almost objectionable were all the references to God and how he would take care of them. It almost felt like listening to a sermon in some parts. I can’t recommend it for this reason.
