Counting on Grace Free Audiobook Download by Elizabeth Winthrop

"Nothing happens" is clearly a lie. Nothing happens when life throws you an immense curveball, or you lose someone you love, or life beats you down for years on end. But it's okay because there is grace in the air and trust that comes with knowing that we are not alone.

Counting on Grace by Elizabeth Winthrop is a riveting historical novel that tells the story of the transforming friendships between three girls in the Civil War. Set in plantation-rich Virginia, the book presents an intimate view of an unusual Southern family and their experience of loss during the war.

The story of Grace and her family's journey to find hope after the disappearance of her husband and daughter. The audiobook is read by Lili Gamache, who does a great job bringing to life the emotions that Grace feels as she searches for them.

Grace is a precocious, borderline genius teenager with a secret--she's dying of cancer. She'd tell anyone she was sick, but what would they say? They'd say "get well soon." Two more years, at best. Hospitals and health care workers make it hard to keep anything hidden. So she keeps her secret (and her hair) and tries to live life like any other teen.

Grace doesn't always mean that life is easy. Sometimes, it means the most difficult things to face can be the most beautiful and rewarding.
