About this listen

Two women, centuries apart, are joined through a tattered journal as they contend with God, husbands, and even themselves...until they fall into the arms of the One who loves them unconditionally.

Sierra Madrid's life has just been turned upside down when she discovers the handcrafted quilt and journal of her ancestor Mary Kathryn McMurray, a young woman who was uprooted from her home only to endure harsh conditions on the Oregon Trail. Though the women are separated by time and circumstance, Sierra discovers that many of the issues they face are remarkably similar. By following Mary Kathryn's example, Sierra learns to surrender to God?s sovereignty and unconditional love.

I like that Francine Rivers does not skirt the hard questions - that we are all human and sometimes we do think… ‘where is God in all of it?’. We are so fearful. Surrender can be very difficult. But these books show us that God is always in control and this is very comforting.

Excellent listen as always. Leads one to the Father.

Voice was a bit irritating until I changed the speed. Much better played quicker! Listened to this during 2 days of decorating and really enjoyed it. Great ending too. Really nice to have a Christian based novel, thought provoking and uplifting.

The two intertwined stories of Mary-Katherine and Sierra touches so many real life issues. It inspires and makes the reader look deep inside your own soul, to find that the only way a marriage can work is when Jesus is at the centre of it all.
Such a beautiful love story

A beautifully written story of life and love.
