Awesome Listen!
For the Love of Laura Beth by Aubrey Wynne is a heartfelt listen. This book is both a standalone listen and part of the Chicago Christmas series. I thought that Sara Sheckells performed this book flawlessly. She added the right emotions and brought the characters to life. This book felt so real! The people, the places, the fears, and the Korean War. I thought the story was beautifully written. I will definitely listen to more books by this amazing author and narrator.

What a powerful romance!
I am in awe of Aubrey Wynne's writing, and this story really struck a nerve with me. It's full of true life turmoil and a love so strong, it transcends time. Laura Beth and Joe have been in love forever. Looking forward to their impending marriage, obstacles continue to obstruct their path to happiness. Now drafted into the Korean War, the two decide to get married before Joe's deployment, and Laura Beth is now having their first child. Their love is so strong, and with the return of Joe, they begin their life together. But true to real circumstances, things do not always go as expected. Their daughter has a rare disease, Laura Beth is expecting their second child and Joe is experiencing PTSD. Does this family ever get the break they deserve? It's heart wrenching, it's passionate, it's tear jerking and full of love. I could feel the pain these two went through, the family regrets and the fear of loving a new. I have not been moved by a book like this in quite a while and really loved it.
Sara K Sheckells does an amazing job with this story. Her voice pulls every emotion into it, taking you right into Laura Beth's and Joe's world. You can feel their excitement and grief and most of all their love. It's a wonderful narration.
