Good story

Slightly annoying narrator made Ruth sound only a little older than Shirley Temple in her heyday but the story was good and worth listening to.

A Beautiful Story to lift our spirits

I am so grateful there are stories such as this one.
The sweetness of Lil was so refreshing and hers and John’s quest to find God gave inspiration for us to do the same I. This very difficult time where the World is upside down.
I think if we become angry over Christian themed books, we might want to look at our own hearts to see who is controlling it!

Awesome

This was without a doubt one of Ms Hill’s
best novels. I could hardly wait for the end and then when it ended I was disappointed and wanted it to continue.

Sweet story

Enjoyed Listening to the story. I was always a fan of the narration, but for most of the story the voice she picked wasn’t irritating.
Sweet story although a little predictable.

Good Love Story

The first few chapters I listened to at 1.5 speed because it was read so slow I was about to fall asleep. When the story advanced I eventually was able to return it to 1.0 speed and stick with it. It’s a sweet love story.

A great find. I am an avid Grace Livingston Hill Fan.

I have long been a Grace Livingston Hill fan. I was so glad to find a few in Audible that I have never read. A great simple story that presents the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Refreshing, and tender...not without suspense.

Fine story, reminding us of an earlier century when America was in crisis. Heart warming to the end.

Faith of our Fathers

GL Hill was my grandmother’s favorite author. It was great fun finding a selection by her in audible!
