Story
A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want - money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist - an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.

Years ago, the day before Ellie moved from Georgia to California, she and her best friend, Nolan, sat beneath the Spanish moss of an ancient oak tree where they wrote letters to each other, and sealed them in a rusty old metal box. The plan was to return 11 years later and read them. But now, as that date arrives, much has changed. Ellie, bereft of the faith she grew up with, is a single mom living in a tired apartment trying to make ends meet. Sometimes she watches television to catch a glimpse of her old friend - Nolan, now an NBA star, whose terrible personal tragedies fueled his faith and athletic drive in equal measure.

Review of Crushing
- By Kindle Customer on 09-08-2020
Publisher's Summary
Two women, centuries apart, are joined through a tattered journal as they contend with God, husbands, and even themselves...until they fall into the arms of the One who loves them unconditionally.
Sierra Madrid's life has just been turned upside down when she discovers the handcrafted quilt and journal of her ancestor Mary Kathryn McMurray, a young woman who was uprooted from her home only to endure harsh conditions on the Oregon Trail. Though the women are separated by time and circumstance, Sierra discovers that many of the issues they face are remarkably similar. By following Mary Kathryn's example, Sierra learns to surrender to God?s sovereignty and unconditional love.

A very enjoyable story that I didn’t want to end. I really enjoyed the narration of the main story as well as the voice of Mary-Katherine. The Scarlet Thread very cleverly wove together the story of the main character and the story of one of her ancestors. This is a story of love and loss. Surrender and redemption.

Deeply Wounding
While Francine's other books have the potential for great healing, this one has the potential for deeply wounding readers!
The main character believes she is responsible for her husband's sinful choices! If it hadn't have been one woman he was unfaithful with, it would have been another because of HER shameful and sinful actions. With that belief, the husband should have taken blame for the main character's sinful choices as well.
The truth is, while we might influence another, we are all free to make our choices, sinful or not; and we are held accountable for our own choices without blaming another. This error in teaching is potentially deeply wounding for anyone who has experienced infidelity.
Francine calls taking care of yourself "selfish, " when Paul wrote "Let each of you look out NOT ONLY for his own interest, but ALSO for the interests of others." Phill 2:4 NKJV, consistent with the original writing in Greek
Additionally, the Bible teaches "it is not good for man to be alone, "and that we grow by "that which every joint supplies. " Not that we need a spouse , but neither should we isolate while we heal, for we should "not forsake the assembling of ourselves together." So where does this teaching of "God alone should be enough" come from? I can only think of one enemy who would like us to isolate ourselves!
Too much shame and blame in this otherwise fabulous story.

Francine has yet again outdone herself!!!
I've read this book a dozen times via audible and each time I am humbled by God's love and grace over our lives. We humans sometimes think that we are in control but the truth is God is the one who orchestrates every event that has happened in our lives, both good and bad. He does this to show you who he is and that he is much big than what we think or have conceived in our minds.
This is a great book to read about God, love, faithfulness and mercy.

Loved It
I've read several Francine Rivers novels over the years, and each of them are amazing. This novel is no exception. This novel made me laugh, cry, think, Etc. Both the narrators were fantastic. I've said this before, but I love how Francine's books make you really look at your own life. Even if the story doesn't match your life exactly, you take away something from each novel.
Thank you audible for putting this novel up. I read this book in 2 days. Another five star read from Francine.
If this is your first Francine Rivers novel, check out Redeeming Love and the Mark Of The Lion trilogy.

This was the first Francine Rivers book my husband listened to with me as we traveled on a two day trip. Such s good story and We laughed so hard as the narrator (or narrators) switched back and forth between characters. Ms Rivers always brings the love of Jesus into her books and reminds me to share his love with others.

Weaving threads
What made the experience of listening to The Scarlet Thread the most enjoyable?
Francine Rivers masterfully sets the stage for a story that a describes the lives of too many of us who get caught up in ourselves and our own desires. She weaves through her tale the historical diary of a woman moved against her will and the painful journey to finding peace through Jesus. The parallel stories are intriguing and a pleasure to read.

Slow start but great finish
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book because it paints a great picture of the dysfunctions in life and the hope that can still be found in ashes.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The book weaves in the stories of 2 women, Sierra and Mary Catherine, and though I loved them both, I think Mary was my favorite because I was amazed at the hardship she endured and the evolving change in her heart through self reflection, she was able to put aside self pity which in my opinion she was clearly entitled to if anyone is, and continue to see her own faults and make the best of the situation. Sierra, also had a similar story of enduring hardship and undergoing changes, both amazing characters.
What three words best describe Angela Rogers and Alma Cuervo ’s voice?
To begin, both voices annoyed me a bit, due to personal preference of other narration styles I have been listening to, however, after listening awhile, both voices seemed appropriate for the story lines.
There were some annoying glitches in the sound quality, extra background noises and lip smacking type things here and there, I was able to get past them and they were not too bad, but some of the other narrators I listen to do not have these so maybe I noticed them more easily.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I think it was when Sierra's life began to be settled again, and then was faced with confusion and heartache once more and had to make a decision.
Any additional comments?
The story shows the great humility of Sierra really looking inside to see her own faults throughout the story, and I know that in life when we do this, it is better for us and we may never hear someone who has hurt us fully own their wrongs, but I wanted Alex to fully own his selfishness in the beginning of the book and realize that though he was chasing his dreams, and Sierra recognized she could have been more supportive, reality is he was portrayed as selfish and greedy when the turmoil began, before her lack of support and before his large blunder. He owned his "blunder" but he never owned any of the beginning things that I think set them up for failure. I wish the author had even put one sentence in about how he left Sierra out of all the marriage partnership chasing his dream and acknowledge his selfish greedy ways. This left an internal struggle in me, I kept wanting justice for Sierra in that regard and never got it. Again, I know that is not reality, we don't always get justice and we are still expected by God to see our own faults anyways, but, this is a book and I am coming here to escape some of those realities lol.

IF you want JOY read this inspirational story
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I love both stories and readers. Excellent book applicable to old and modern times. Very inspirational, I wanted to read something uplifting instead of the stupid flluff Ive been wasting my time on. My friend said she was a Christian Romance author. I will now read and devour everything she has read. Just bought 3 extra credits - it what this world needs!!!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Scarlet Thread?
The realization of both the two female characters knowledge of how they treated their husbands and how it saved their marriage once they forgave with the love of God, How their terrible trails were for good and brought them to GOD and made them RED HOT with prayer instead of lukewarm and tepid
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A beautifully written story of life and love.
The two intertwined stories of Mary-Katherine and Sierra touches so many real life issues. It inspires and makes the reader look deep inside your own soul, to find that the only way a marriage can work is when Jesus is at the centre of it all.
Such a beautiful love story

Painful
I have found this a very painful book to listen to.
My second marriage is crumbling.
I relate to so many aspects of many of the characters and storylinesboyh male and female.
I feel so ashamed of so many aspects of myself and my life.
An abused child, serious acute Snd chronic mental health illnesses and suffering the stigma and judgement added on top of it. Having thought I was doing ok I find I am in a mess again in my life.
I have always known of God and I do believe He has been with me throughout BUT I only gave my life to Jesus in 2006 but still feel that I am missing the point somehow.
I feel I am being punished, that I am at fault, with all the human damaging character defects of stubbornness and pride, resentment and bitterness and control but also deep confusion as I heard in this.
No one in my life has ever admitted the abuse I went through and there has never been any justice or apology of what happened to me.
I have worked so hard with the Lord and others and
I feel I have forgiven and repented and was healed - I have deep compassion and love in my heart for all those who hurt me but now with the mess of my second marriage the hell stirred up again in a different disguise. Or is it the madness of my mind or my MH that confuses my soul and deceives my spirit.
This story has stirred up so much and I have cried and pleaded with God to hear Him clearly. To feel the love that Sierra feels from Jesus as her Saviour and a reconciliation and redemption of me, my life and my marriage. Or am I to continue to suffer until I have learnt a lesson I cannot see. How many rock bottoms do I need to reach a clarity where I am going wrong and how to put it right. Every which way I turn I seem to be blind and deaf.
I share a snippet of my story and maybe The Scarlet Thread is part of my teaching as maybe Lineage of Grace and Redeeming Love - all of which have 'happy endings' in love with Christ and husbands.
Maybe I don't have enough faith, or read my bible enough or whatever maybe Francine
Rivers could help me write my book with this clarity in the conclusion or maybe I will not see it until I meet my maker.
Thank you Francine Rivera. You have stirred up my soul and I trust the Lord has spoken through this and your others books. Scriptures, storylines anything to enable me to hear what I need to hear and put it to work in my own life.
God willing.
😇🙏🏼💗

Not for me. Not as good as other books by F.R.
Loved some of her other books, but not this one. It literally stressed me out listening to it and I couldn't bring myself to finish it after getting nearly half way. I decided to go and read a summary online and unfortunately my instincts/concerns were confirmed about how it ends. Not for me.

An emotional and beautiful story
Any additional comments?
This book is similar to Francine's other love stories although this is a 2 in 1 offer where you get 2 moving stories of life's trials and tribulations set in 2 very different environments but beautifully blended into an uplifting and heartwarming ending.
