A Million Little Choices

Written by Tamera Alexander

Narrated by Erin Bennett

Sometimes secrets just won’t stay hidden . . .
Now from USA Today bestselling author and Christy Award Hall of Fame inductee Tamera Alexander comes the story of two women from different centuries living in the same house who share strikingly similar journeys.

Claire Powell’s life is turned upside down when her beloved husband admits to a “near affair.” But when Stephen accepts a partnership with an Atlanta law firm without consulting her and buys a historic Southern home sight-unseen―it pushes their already-fractured marriage to the breaking point. Claire’s world spirals, and she soon finds herself in a marriage she no longer wants, in a house she never asked for.

In 1863, Charlotte Thursmann, pregnant and trapped in a marriage to an abusive husband, struggles to protect her unborn child and the enslaved members of her household. Desperate, she’s determined to right the evils her husband and others like him commit. But how can one woman put an end to such injustice? Especially if her husband makes good on his threat to kill her?

Both Claire and Charlotte discover truths about themselves they never realized, along with secrets long hidden that hold the power to bring God’s restoration―if only they choose to let it.

I’m in tears! This book was fantastic. I couldn’t stop. In just two days I made my way through this incredibly written story. I recommend to anyone ❤️

[Claire Donahoe · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was one of the most incredible books I’ve experienced. The journey you are taken on is truly special and the characters, both current and historical, don’t feel like book characters but friends and loved ones. It is rare for a book to bring me to tears and to feel so deeply and this book did so. To the author, if you ever read this, thank you for this book.

If you’re reading reviews debating whether or not to listen, don’t second guess it. You found this book for a reason, at just the right timing, like I did. So go for it, you won’t be disappointed.

Wow, this was an awesome book. It really opened my eyes and heart to the hurts and heartache taking place in the present and reaching out from the past. However, this book also offered hope and reassurance.

4.5+! This stand alone novel by Tamara Alexander is truly a winner! (And wonderful in the audio version)!

It's the winter and gray in Oregon, and I struggle with SAD this time of year and have a background with a difficult divorce, so I wasn't sure if I was going to stick with this one, but I was definitely intrigued by the historical path of the novel, so decided to hang in there through the contemporary marital strife that brought back a lot of grief. I was rooting for them, but not sure of the outcome, and it honestly was a little raw for me, especially the circular-going-nowhere-communication.

I'm SO glad I stuck it out! I LOVED the historical story, and thought the author did a beautiful job of overlapping the emotional drama, the love and growth and sacrifice, in a way that may bring a little, or a lot, of wisdom into each readers heart. There were some very quotable bits, but the story was moving too fast by then for me to stop to write them down.

The cover doesn't look gripping in the least, but there's some serious intrigue involved! Highly and warmly recommended. This reader walked away a little more hopeful, a good bit encouraged, and VERY ready to seek out another novel by Tamara Alexander!

[Frances O'Connor · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Really, really, great book on all accounts. Author was well researched on all the subjects addressed, not wishy washy Christian babble, but biblically sound, without being preachy, excellent character and plot development, realistic as a good read with a bleep (no spoilers) can be. . Excellent reader.
It's going to be hard to find my next read/listen. :-) I will be looking for more from this author and reader.

This book changed my life. I was in a dark place but now I see life through a different lens and iI am viewing my life from an eternity standpoint. I will weather the storms of life with renewed faith in a God that will never leave me or forsake me and will give me strength to push through to the other side. I am not in this alone. I will never be alone again.
