About this audiobook
Best-selling, award-winning author Tracie Peterson infuses her compelling novels with practical faith and courage. In this story of one contemporary family, she deftly weaves together the lives of five very different young women as they face life's tragedies and triumphs. Abandoned by their mother while they were still small children, the Mitchell sisters have always felt the pain of rejection. Their search for love and a sense of worth drives them apart by the time they are adults. But when their mother--now a famous actress--suffers an untimely death, the five reunite for the funeral. There they begin to salvage frayed relationships--held together only by a slender thread. As new trials pass their way, the women struggle to maintain the tenuous bonds of sisterhood and find a reason to go on. Narrator Ruth Ann Phimister holds listeners spellbound as each of the sisters experience the healing power of love and acceptance.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Like the rest of you, I did enjoy the book. The story moved along nicely, and the theme was very special - the pulling together of five sisters who had drifted apart (or in one case determined to separate herself) after leaving the farm where they were raised. I loved seeing how events pulled them back to God and the faith in which they were raised. The object used to illustrate the theme, a beautiful quilt made by the grandmother who raised the sisters, was an excellent device for this tale.I do have to say that the writing was not masterful. I had trouble from the beginning understanding the point of view of some sisters, and I don't think Brook was particularly well developed as a character. It detracted from the story for me, but it still earned a 7/10 for its uplifting story line.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This was a very dramatic book, maybe it was because I was hearing in with certain emphasis rather than reading my own thoughts into it, but this was a stressful book. There were several deaths throughout the book, and heart breaks, and lies, and betrayal. Almost everything that can go wrong did in one of the five sister's lives and then they had to struggle to go on. True it ends in a relative forgiveness, but rather abruptly when there were some 40-odd chapters of pure pain and torture. I love Tracie Peterson's work, but this is a book that I do not plan to ever read/listen to again. It is just too painful.
