Nice Break from Depressing Listens!

I have wanted to read/listen to a Mary Coneally book for a long time. Glad to find this one on audible.com! I had just finished listening to a very dark secular novel that had elements in common with my own writing. I'd also begun listening to another secular best-selling novel with major commonalities with my own manuscripts so I want to listen. Both were pretty depressing. The Christian world view and voice of hope were notably absent. Reasons I listen/read Christian novels and write Christian historical romance. So when I got this download I jumped right in. What a nice break from the yucky feeling I had listening to a voice devoid of faith. A concern I had about this story, that pulled me out of the listen, was that I have a daughter about this age and both the H/H were so lacking in common sense imho. My hubby, when I described the scenario to him commented that so many young people are into extreme sports, etc., these days, that for them this wouldn't be an issue (not about extreme sports but what they are doing in the story with the caves and the psychopath etc.) To me, though, this story was a great wonderful antidote to having just had two bummer listens. The author's voice is uplifting and she had a unique story and interesting characters. I felt like listening to Mary's book reset my bummed out reading experience and got me back on track!

bad narration

the narrator has spoiled the good read that this book is.buy the book and read it than listening to this narration.

Not the right narrator.....

I would recommend you actually read the story rather than listen to it. It's a childishly written and expressed romance of the old west. Way too much repeating of individuals thoughts and feelings. It's good for a 12 year old!

Too much detail about nothing

The thing I liked least about this was Julia's attitude. She is supposed to be a Christian but she's not kind to others. Especially those less fortunate. She is just not a nice person. So selfish and full of herself. She's the main character but more like a villain!

Too much repetition

I didn't like the way the author repeated things multiple times. I also didn't like how the majority of the book focused on what the characters are thinking. I don't think I would recommend this book/series to anyone.

Awesome & Fresh

New Author for me. Loved a new plot line. It was fresh to me & rewarding to listen to!

Softly and Tenderly

Love and trust and letting go are all parts of life in this story I related to. I have come to know the characters in these books as if I've known them all my life.

I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I want to see what happens in Jade's life. I am rooting for her and Max to make it. But I also know the feeling she has for Dustin.

I'm sure the next story will continue in the story of June and Rebel and Jade, Max and Asa. I'll miss Beryl. I enjoyed her feisty character.

Great series. Easy to relate. I enjoyed the way the narrator read each scene. Highly recommended.

Amazing Book!

If you could sum up Softly and Tenderly in three words, what would they be?

Brillant, heart-breaking, Amazing

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jade

Have you listened to any of Rebecca Gallaghers other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, and this is great...she is by far the best narrator

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The road trip was liberating

Any additional comments?

Great love story! Awesome Narrator

Publisher's Summary:

Fifteen years ago, Lainey O'Toole made a split-second decision. She couldn't have known that her choice would impact so many. Now in her mid-20s, she is poised to go to culinary school when her car breaks down in Stoney Ridge, the very Amish town in which her long-reaching decision was made, forcing her to face the shadowed past.

Bess Reihl is less than thrilled to be spending the summer at Rose Hill Farm with her large and intimidating grandmother, Bertha. It quickly becomes clear that she is there to work the farm--and work hard. The labor is made slightly more tolerable by the time it affords Bess to spend with the handsome hired hand, Billy Lapp. But he only has eyes for a flirty and curvaceous older girl. Lainey's and Bess's worlds are about to collide and the secrets that come to light will shock them both. The Search is a skillfully woven story that takes listeners through unexpected twists and turns on the long country road toward truth. Fans both old and new will find themselves immersed in this heartwarming--and surprising--tale of young love, forgiveness, and coming to grips with the past.

A very different type of Amish book

I wasn't sure I would like this book and hesitated buying it. Only to find out I was glad I did. This story weaves it's way through the lives of Amish and English. And joining the two cultures together in an unexpected way. I would recommend this book to all true Amish book lovers.

great books

this book was great I love the whole series Arthur is wonderful I can't wait to read more series

great book

Would you listen to The Search again? Why?

I really enjoy amish stories, this one didn't disappoint. This was my first audio book. I believe I am hooked!

Love never runs smoothly

An unexpected story. Not what you'd necessarily expect. A number of unexpected twists. I found it difficult to put down. Thoroughly recommended.

Fun read!

This was good and great insight but waiting tie lose ends! Maybe more depth in characters will be coming! :)

Literary Amish Story

Both Amish, Carrie Weaver and Daniel Miller are much in love. A baseball player, Daniel, is about to go pro. When Carrie's life changes, so does her choice of future husband. And with a younger brother to care for who suffers from hemophilia, Carrie must choose for more than herself alone.

I listened to this on audio with a download from Audible.com. The narrator's voice seemed more suited to the female antagonist in the story than to the Amish characters, which was distracting. However, I always try to not hold that against the author when I am listening, as they have no control over this. Unless they are Liz Curtis Higgs who recently narrated her own audiobooks (which was a fabulous gift for her readers!)

I would describe this as an almost literary Amish book with romantic elements. It was most unusual. If you are anticipating a formulaic Amish story forget it! Suzanne Woods Fisher had more twists and turns in her story than in Amish country near the Ohio River!

SPOILER ALERT: I will warn the reader that there is an important death that almost stopped me from finishing listening to the rest of the book. I was angry with Suzanne yup, she had violated my expectations for a romance. Guess what?! This is not a romance. It is an Amish fiction with romantic elements, some womens fiction to it, suspense, and a literary twist. So I had to get over my irritation as I do not like big surprises in my reading. My friend and author, Dina Sleiman, who has an MFA degree would likely be jumping for joy at literary quality of this book. I, on the other hand, like my reads or listens to be fairly straight forward with no killing off of someone I have begun to get attached to in the story.

Back to the previous programming - That being said, the rest of the novel was very well done and Suzanne needed the plot element for her heroines emotional and spiritual arc. There is an arsonist amongst the characters and she does a great job of obscuring just who that might be.

Forgiveness is a huge theme in this book and in many Amish books. Carrie has made choices that she has to address. Some of her decisions require forgiveness of herself. One of the male protagonists makes a sacrificial choice that has ramifications that ripples throughout the family. I found that fascinating how Suzanne spun that storyline across so many characters story arcs.

I really loved two secondary characterss romance. They were a really fun couple and I was glad the author put them together.

Merry? Really?

This was my first Amish based romance book. The reader did a great job. However the lead character was such in a dark place it made me sort of depressed and hoping to rush toward the happy ending. Marian wasn't so Merry until the very end. I think I'll pass on other books by is author. It was well written & I enjoyed learning about the Amish ways.

Why does it have to be Paul Medford, the stringent young minister who works with her father, who shows up during her worst moment? Paul is full of promises, too, and it's clear that he has feelings for Sophie. But after all she's been through, can she trust him?

Members Reviews:

Oops!!

This was a good listen but...

I enoyed the storyline very much and thought it was good reminder of God's love and forgiveness. I find my own attitude often mirrors that of the main character Sophie.

My only complaint was that this book seems to have been pieced together incorrectly. Though it sounds seamless, there is an obvious flaw in this recording. The book is in chronological order and dates are interjected to help the reader/listener know the time line. However, in this recording, the book jumps from approx February to mid-summer and then back to March. Thankfully, if one has listened up to that point you can kind of piece it together in your head. I just think you shouldn't have to when you're paying for a product. There is another version of this book available (longer) which is actually what I meant to click on when I purchased this book. Maybe that version doesn't have the same error.

Oh well, still a good story. :-)

I loved it!

This book caught my interest right from the start. Good story line, a little predictable, but very enjoyable. The narrator did a supurb job with this one.

Performance Review of the Postcard

What made the experience of listening to The Postcard the most enjoyable?

I'm a big fan of Beverly Lewis and her writings and recently decided to reread some of the older series. By reread I mean listen to while I'm at work. Ms. Caruso had a nice voice- however when there was a transition into the next chapter I felt like it was rushed and wonder if I'm missing part of the story-line. It seemed that she would be reading the end of the chapter and right in the middle announced the next chapter. I'm not sure if it's a performance issue or lack of editing because there was also an area where she seemed to have stumbled over her words. Hoping The Crossroads is better!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Postcard?

Hearing the story of Gabriel Esh. (Sp?)

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Barbara Caruso?

Beverly Lewis herself!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It took me 2 work days.

one of my favs

i have listened to this and crossroads multiple times i love it the blending of 2 worlds

not very interesting

nothing really seemed to happen in this book; much ado about nothing...

it was good for putting me to sleep in the middle of the night!

the worst ending

the book wasnt bad itself, but the ending left not much closure.

Sam Bledsoe prefers his reclusive existence. A one-man landscape business keeps a roof over his head and food on the table - and keeps his badly scarred face away from curious eyes. But when a woman faints on her way from neighbor Maggie Ross' house, he doesn't hesitate. He rushes to help while grappling with memories of the incident that burned him so badly.

When Sam comes to Becca's rescue, their battered hearts collide. In a moment of holiday magic, they discover that Christmas hope applies to all, even to them. And will hope lead to love, the most precious Christmas gift of all?

Members Reviews:

A wonderful, engaging story!

It felt decadently delicious to enjoy this great book. Loved the wordsmithing to describe the characters.

Heartstring tugger!!

I listened to the audiobook while reading the kindle version. Loved both the writing and the narration. It's a short but sweet love story that plucks hard at your heartstrings. A single mom to be, a wounded veteran, both with physical and mental barriers - it will take a miracle to bring them together. I'm usually asleep this time of night, but the climax had me sitting up wide-eyed, wondering if that miracle would come.

Recommended for all lovers of clean holiday romance!
