About this listen

After a tailspin in her late teens, Lauren Anderson's life is finally back on track. Her battle with bulimia is under control, her career is taking off, and she's surrounded by a loving family. Then a chance meeting with Carter Douglas, her first love and the man who broke her heart, leads to old feelings returning with new strength. And suddenly her well-balanced world is thrown off kilter.

Now a TV meteorologist, Carter is determined to make amends with Lauren. After all, she still owns his heart. But the reasons they broke up aren't lost—and those old demons are forcing him toward the same decision he faced in the past. He isn’t sure he's courageous enough to make a different choice this time around.

When Lauren's elderly grandmother, Rosie, begins having nightmares about a man named Ephraim—a name her family has never heard before—a fascinating and forbidden past love comes to light. As Lauren and Carter work to uncover the untold stories of Rosie's past in 1950s Wichita, they embark on a journey of forgiveness and second chances that will change their lives—and Rosie’s—forever. Along the way, they'll learn that God wastes nothing, his timing is perfect, and nothing is beyond his grace and redemption.

Get. This. Book.

Two books by this author and 5 stars for each!

It is a beautiful story with so many layers. I only give five stars to books that really impact me. I listened to the audiobook to both. The narrator does a great job.

I was glad to listen to Lauren’s story a few months after listening to the first book in this series. I enjoyed all the characters with their strengths and flaws and raw honesty. As a bonus, there was Rosie’s story woven throughout with the love between a black man and a white woman. So inspirational yet tragic that the world has ever had to endure racism from any colour toward any colour.

This book had so many parts working together - mystery/intrigue, romance, personal battles and scars, the best and worst of mankind, and the grace and majesty of God.

Amanda Wen has become a favourite author. My only complaint is waiting for the next book!!! 🥰
