Heartfelt Christian historical drama

I enjoyed listening to the audiobook version of A Feeling of Home. The story has plenty of twists and turns that kept me listening. The narrator is pretty good. At times though, I felt like the narration fell a little flat, but for the most part, it was enjoyable to listen to. She did a great job distinguishing the characters and making them come alive.

The story revolves around Dr. Mark Henshaw and Isabelle Wardrop who both have experienced considerable losses. Each are responsible for raising a younger sibling on their own. Isabelle has gone from a spoiled, wealthy daughter to penniless and orphaned. As she navigates her new world, her younger sister makes choices which complicate both of their lives considerably.

Dr. Henshaw is a compassionate forgiving man who immediately forgives Isabelle for her behavior after her mother’s death. He offers her help and friendship when she most needs it. As their relationship grows from friendship to more, the actions of their siblings cause problems and dilemmas in their budding relationship.

It’s a heartfelt story that will definitely keep you listening. At times I was frustrated with several of the actions of the characters, but I enjoyed the messages of forgiveness and dealing with loss that were present in the story. I also enjoyed the sweet, heartfelt romance. This can definitely be read or listened to as a standalone though it’s part of a series.
