About this listen

 Fragrant blossoms herald spring, but the orchard is also a place of secrets and heartache. After the death of her husband Frank, Eliza is left with three young children and mounting debts. When a gentle stranger enters her orchard, she experiences a peculiar sensation of familiarity with the man. But will his unknown past jeopardize all that she has fought for?

Hidden Places is a Christy Award winner for excellence in Christian fiction.

The story caught me at once. I wanted to turn it of because of the sadness but I couldn't let go. I listened to every word but I am also glad it is finished. I felt it highlighted my own sadness and I try not to focus on those emotions as I need to stay strong.

Serious, sad and hopeful

What a wonderful story. Real and heartfelt. I became completely engrossed in it as the characters were so well developed that they drew you into their lives. It is totally different from her Biblical novels which are very powerful and strong, but this was powerful in a gentle way. I was hesitant to read a regular novel of hers as I thought they couldn’t possibly live up to her Biblical novels. I’m very pleased to be proved wrong. Well done Lynn Austin. You are still one of my favourite authors.
