THE HARDEST PEACE Expecting Grace in the Midst of Life's Hard

Patty Fogarty narrates Tippetts's memoir with appealing warmth. Her raw and vulnerable delivery of what Tippetts learned while dying from Stage IV cancer is compelling--especially as she puts forth the author's life-changing truths and Christ-centered insights about her life, children, and husband. Listeners learn the importance of dealing with anger and bitterness and of showing love and appreciation in the small moments--whether folding laundry, solving a dispute, or sharing a cup of coffee with a friend. In each instance, Fogarty captures Tippetts's unwavering spirit and faith in the grace of God. G.D.W. [Published: DECEMBER 2014]
