I loved this book! It's a gripping and touching we'll told story. The story was in fact so good that although I'm not a religious person, I was still able to appreciate the characters faith and religious references in the context of the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story, but did not realize it was a Christian book. But it wasn’t heavy in the religious sense, but it definitely made a Christian impression regarding Jesus and God. I did not know that beforehand as I am Jewish. But it was not obnoxiously Overdone.

real life. very moving

This was one of the best books I have ever listened to. So good!! The narrator was awesome as well.

Pretty good

Engages almost immediately - real life, believable emotions, admirable religious convictions without being overbearing. Loved the story as it followed places I am familiar with.

Wholesome story line.

Such a good story!

Absolutely enjoyed this Wonderful Historical Life Journey gripping, touching it will without a doubt draw you in a many will relate just Brilliant Thank You

Unrealistic ending. Very fairytale ending for political reasons. Sad

What a wonderfully told tale. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

I really enjoyed this and how the author explained life in the Appalachian Mountains. Well written and a good read.

Very heart warming... brought back memories of grandparents home when I was a kid

I loved the story line. I was surprised by the Christian references but found that refreshing considering most of what we see today.

I liked this book. It’s not an original story but it was a nice story of faith, family not needing to be blood, grace and redemption.

I loved the story line. It made me do happy and sad cries. I enjoyed this book very much.

Boring, stopped listening

Story interesting. A little too preachy for my taste.

A beautiful story, beautifully written. Tears fell, but Hope endures.

I enjoyed this book and the characters, I rated it 4 stars because it got a little long in the middle and felt rushed in the last 4 chapters. I would listen to it again.

Beautiful story! It was one that kept me wanting to listen for hours. I love that the author did so much research on the area and period that the story took place in.

such a heart warming story I enjoyed it so much and have visited many times the area close to the area in this book I recommend the narrator is perfect

Seriously enjoyable.

What a wonderful story. Written well, and great narrations. This story describes the Appalachian well, although takes place many years ago some places in Appalachian remain close to the same. Truly stepping back in time while in the present. A very heartfelt story, of heartache and love. One can take away that everything that happens is meant to be within our higher power, and life's journey. Highly recommend.

Such a beautiful story!! Narrator was very good

Very engaging read
