About this listen
The things that we collect in life can be bought or sold. It's the people in our lives who are the treasures kept safely stored in our hearts.
Family: the word is both sweet and bitter. We all have one; it is our common denominator. We're all linked by birth to at least two others, and we spend our lives running to and running from these connections.
From one coast to the other, to the far side of the globe, three diverse characters follow paths that will mysteriously connect: Tina Lopez, endowed with a special gift from God, who learns at a young age how sharing one's gifts can expand the meaning of family; Ethan Kelly, a young Irish-American priest-in-training, who will journey far to discover what he has always known; and K.C. Littleton, who will prove that old adage, "Be careful what you wish for." All will discover a new appreciation for faith, forgiveness, and family.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 120
Timothy and Jonah, wealthy entrepreneurs with a spoiled son, hide sins from their past—one involving a death on a cruise, the other a crime in Bali. Nathan and Samantha, the hot ex-nanny turned trophy wife, grapple with infertility and a shocking paternity secret. Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe. Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,220
Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story4 out of 5 stars 1,070
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Too many storylines are confusing for audio book
Is there anything you would change about this book?
If a brief epilogue could have preceded the story, so the listener knows that all these characters & their stories are related, it would have been much more enjoyable for me. It seemed to take a very long time to understand the relationships in the book.
What do you think your next listen will be?
No Dark Valley
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
NO
Any additional comments?
The performance needs to be audited immediately. There are 2 places where the performance of the chapters are repeated. One of those is the very end of the book and another is about 2/3 through the book.

Uplifting Story
I enjoyed this book very much. The characters are human and devine. A definate christian slant with real world personalities. The characters all come together nicely.

great story
This is a very good story BUT it should not be in the religious/inspirational section because it contains ALOT of curse words. It does not contain as much as some books, but if you want an inspirational book, as I did, you do not want words like this in it. The story could have been so much better without them. I understand that because of the story line (soldiers in vietnam) that some people feel that this is needed to make the story realistic but to me, it just makes the story weaker. Great book but bad language.

The Migrant
Loved the story line and the characters. The reader however makes too many mistakes with the Spanish language and that made me angry. They should have had someone listen to the Spanish that knows the language. I was tempted to turn it off and not finish the book because of the reader. The characters were however too charming to leave and the story line held my interest enough to finish listening to the book. I would not recommend this book to people that know the language. If they don't know the language then it will probably not bother them.

Enjoyable life story
This was fun and I will listen to it again. You will be pulled into this stroy. It is not a perfect, clean, Christain Bible story for young people. This a good uplifting story for adults. It would not fall under the christian label to me but it is a good book with great characters.

Kept Waiting for Something To Happen!
I liked this book, and the characters, but I kept waiting for everything to come together. I admit - I can be obtuse, but it all seemed so vague. There were connections, but they all seemed so loose and out there. I enjoyed the characters, and the premise of the book, but it left me wondering what was missing.

A totally ridiculous was of a credit
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Absolutely nothing. This is by far the worst written book I've listened to and wish I could turn it back in for another credit. It makes me very angry that I've selected it!!
Has The Migrant turned you off from other books in this genre?
This is most definitely not a Christen book. It's full of silly ridiculous teen age swearing. Beyond the fact that's its so very poorly written.
How could the performance have been better?
No idea. Not sure it could be fixed
What character would you cut from The Migrant?
The characters are not the issue. It is misrepresented as a Christian novel
Any additional comments?
I am angry that I wasted my money choosing it.
