Publisher's summary

The adventure of a lifetime for two indomitable socialite sisters

In the city of Chicago in 1892, the rules for Victorian women are strict, their roles limited. But sisters Rebecca and Flora Hawes are not typical Victorian ladies. Their love of adventure and their desire to use their God-given talents has brought them to the Sinai Desert - and into a sandstorm.

Accompanied by Soren Petersen, their somber young butler, and Kate Rafferty, a street urchin who is learning to be their ladies' maid, the two women are on a quest to find an important biblical manuscript. As the journey becomes more dangerous and uncertain, the four travelers sift through memories of their past, recalling the events that shaped them and the circumstances that brought them to this time and place.

Where we belong

My favorite part of the book, Where We Belong, was the spiritual insight in the story. I especially enjoyed the passages where the characters debated the validity of the Bible, the Christian faith and beliefs, particularly from a scholarly viewpoint. I enjoyed how the sisters lived their lives for Christ, putting Him first and center in all things. I also enjoyed the historical context of the story and how life was during this time period. 📖 Thank you to Lynn Austin for all her work and efforts to bring this story to life.

Where We Belong

I have to say, I enjoyed this story immensely! Even though it is a novel, I found it to be very educational. I also feel my walk with the Lord has been rejuvenated as a result!

Unique story. very good.

Lots of people mention not liking the reader. I listened to it on 1.25 or 1.3 and it sounded great.

Good clean Christian story/mystery, awful narrator

Enjoyed the Christian aspect, the mystery, and the adventure, but the narrator has some kind of problem with needing a breath every few words so it ends up sounding like, "Rebecca...came into...the room and... announced that she...is going...abroad." SO ANNOYING! She is good with different voices, but that incessant unnecessary pausing makes her sound like she can't get her breath or lost her place while reading or forgot her lines or something. Very distracting and truly annoying. I won't listen to anything else narrated by her. I will, however, definitely listen to more Lynn Austin books :)
