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.

Ok great story , the way this book was written held the reader you wanted to know more. unfortunately I hated that maturity and development only came from the wife.Yes she was not perfect and in fact acted very immature;however , the book made it seems as if the husband’s only fault was not having the perfect wife. I needed more accountability and development from him as well. I loved that she found Jesus and helped her children to do the same but I also thought that as a wife her husband disrespected her and threw her away and thought he got a better replacement only to find out she in fact was a great woman.In my opinion the husband needed to show a lot more remorse and needed his come to Jesus moment .

Great Story Buttt!!!!!

I have read this book many times on paper. I decided to try it as an audiobook. I enjoyed the narrator. She was perfect for this story. I don't really know why Mary Catherine's story was put in. I found it to be a distraction (although the narrator was perfect with her accent). The main story was great watching the choices we make effect those around us. As always I enjoyed Francine Rivers writing.

Love the Journey

The fact there were two voices to differentiate between the main characters was very helpful. Great story. Great narration.
