About this listen

Janette Oke’s inspirational novels have touched millions of readers with their stories of spiritual conflicts and special moments. As her characters struggle with relationships and beliefs, responsibilities and doubts, Oke brings her readers into a world where divine love plays a crucial role.

When her husband dies, leaving Sarah Perry and her infant daughter destitute and alone in the rough frontier town, the determined widow takes over his freight-hauling business. As her baby grows into a young girl, Sarah sends her to the safety and refinement of a boarding school. But when they are reunited, Sarah realizes that they now live in two different, incompatible worlds.

Too Long a Stranger follows this courageous widow as she tries to regain a loving relationship with her estranged daughter. Is there anything, or anyone, who can restore their bond?

Love Janette Oke

I love Janette Oke’s writing. This story had a bit more somber story line but the last bit of the book was more upbeat and redeeming. As always, a good Spiritual and penetrating truth.

Endurance & relentless perseverance

I liked the deep enduring love for her deceased husband but I feel saddened by her choice to deprive herself of a new love that may have been a true gift from God.
Her hearts deep desire to do what she thought best for her daughter.
I didn’t like that she didn’t take more time with clergy or best neighbors to seek their opinions & together prayerfully seek Gods will.
I didn’t like that she didn’t think to ever go visit her daughter & show up for such important event as graduating & ride back with her daughter to home.
As with most human nature, we feel we need to ‘do & fix things’ ourselves & ask God to pick up the broken, leftover pieces with regrets for our choices.
