All She Ever Wanted: (A Contemporary Women's Fiction Family Drama)

As always, Lynn Austin does not disappoint. I could hardly put this book down just like all the others I’ve read of hers.

I have two young kids and get distracted easily. It took me almost a month to read the first half of the book, and the last half took me about 4 days (I finally had time to just sit and read). I highly recommend this book. I love how it wraps everything up at the end, and everything makes sense. It hit home for me, as I read!

I love reading her books. They are so faith filled. I could apply the truth to my own life.

This one got off to somewhat a slow start but once I got a few chapters read I was hooked and couldn’t put the book down!

This is a wonderful book telling a family's story through three generations. It tells a story of how strong women can be, and what they can and will do for their children. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for something that will hold your interest throughout the entire book!

People change. Writing reflects life. I can't help but wonder what life events for Lynn Austin, her family, or friends may have provoked this story to life. Even though I'd call this story "brooding,"I came away with encouragement.I had minor trouble following the storyline as backstory emerged, but I could follow. If you are a "skimmer", this book is not for you. The reader must tune in to the main characters to keep them straight, especially Eleanor and Cynthia.Austin keeps pushing the reader toward resolution. So many life stories tumble onto each other—Rory's decision pulling Fiona to America. The stock market crash of '29 affecting real and false families. Peripheral faith falling short in troubled times. Lynn Austin kept the cascade of generational choices flowing until the very end. I had to keep reading.The highlight for me was the quote from the Lenten prayer. Somehow I wish that had been in the front of the book. It won't be a spoiler but rather a tease to lure you into the book: "Let what we suffer teach us to be merciful—let our sins teach us to forgive."

Lynn Austin never disappoints. I read all of her books years ago and now I am reading them again! The stories keep me reading long hours. I feel I know the characters.

Loved every second of the book. I couldn't put it down. If u looking Christian Author books to read Lynn Austin is one of the best!!

I really enjoyed this book and am reading others in the series. It gives a good idea of the possible background of the biblical stories and contains good teaching as well as a good storyline. Book in good condition. Prompt delivery.

All the characters were brilliant. The story was told with different characters lives intertwined. Very good, would recommend. An author have read before.

Really loved this book. It was exciting. Funny. And also sad in some parts of it.One of L. Austins best, my feedback. :)

Another great family saga from Lynn Austin. Makes you think about your own relationships with your mother and daughter. Lots of twists and turns that keeps you guessing.

Always a great read with plenty of twists
