About this listen
Forced to move back to her husband’s country hometown, she’ll need family, forgiveness, and faith to save their marriage.
As a loving mother and wife, Leslie VandeKeere has overcome most of her own troubled childhood.
But when her husband Dan loses his business and starts receiving flirtatious texts from a co-worker, their dream home fund and their marriage fall on hard times. To keep the family afloat, Leslie reluctantly agrees to move back to Dan’s childhood farmhouse in Holmes Crossing…
With her lack of a religious upbringing, Leslie fears seeing her husband slip back into his tight knit family’s Christian ways. As she watches wedge after wedge come in between her and Dan, an unexpected emergency makes her wonder if her dream has become a nightmare.
Has life delivered Leslie an impossible test of faith, or can she and her husband find a way to unite their family in love?
The Only Best Place is a wonderfully-moving novel of Christian fiction with a dash of romance. If you like real-world characters, challenging family situations, and battles of faith over hardship, then you’ll love Carolyne Aarsen’s heartfelt country tale.
Buy The Only Best Place and escape into a story of love and sacrifice!
“Carolyne Aarsen’s lonely protagonist, Leslie, may be someone you will love-or she may be someone you actually are. A confused wife, trying to see the sky, she is stranded in her husband’s Eden. And the serpents would absolutely love to have a chat.” Jacquelyn Mitchard author of Cage of Stars and The Deep End of the Ocean.
