Leonor A. Woodworth
Leanne grew up under the steady trickle of the harsh and belittling words of her critical mother, in the shadow of her sisters' perfection, and under the weight of a dark secret. With her self-confidence all but eroded, and her head hanging down, she is surprised when Mike McKinley notices her. With every kind word, Mike erases a little pain from her past, and for the first time, she feels as if she is standing on firm ground. But seven years into their marriage, she realizes that her foundation is lying on shallow ground. As their marriage and family begin to settle, the cracks appear.
Mike McKinley is a fixer. From cars to people, he is the guy to go to when you have something that needs repair. But when their oldest daughter is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, he is sent into a tail spin. As his daughter is struggling to stay afloat in her world, and his wife is drowning in her insecurities, Mike feels helpless to do anything to save them.
A wide chasm separates their marriage, and storms threaten to send them crashing through the pit. Can Leanne fight her past, her insecurities and her failing faith to discover the difference between settling for the storm, and striving for the rainbow that comes after?

This is the third book in this series, but the first I've listened to. A Christian novel of marriage based on undisclosed secrets from the past. The family has problems and the husband feels he has to fix everything. It almost seemed it was a bit judgmental in places. The many ups and downs made my heart hurt. Will they both believe in the power f God's love and let him be in control or will they try to do ït on their own?
The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Leonor A. Woodworth.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
From the description, I felt that they were going to focus a bit more about their daughter and the fact that they were just discovering that she was on the autism spectrum. I didn't feel that this was the case at all. I feel that Leanne and Mike's marital issues were front and center and to be honest, I just didn't get into the story. It felt disjointed and they tackled a variety of serious subjects, but not too in depth with any of them. I would have liked the author to have focused on maybe one or two and brought a bit more depth to the story.If you’ve listened to books by Michelle Lynn Brown before, how does this one compare?
Haven't ever listened to any of her books before, so I have nothing to compare it to.Which scene was your favorite?
I liked the scene where they were doing the exercise with the backpacks. It made a lot of sense to me and made me reflect on my own marriage and family.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Nope. Listening to the book was enough for me.Any additional comments?
The narration was well done and I would listen to another audiobook narrated by Ms. Woodworth again.I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
A little all over the place
