This is the love story of Michael Keddington and Faye Murrow, a love story that takes place not in seclusion, but in the real world, with the challenges that all lovers must face. No relationship is an island: there are threads that bind us all and pull at our lives: the demands of family, friends, work, and social obligation. And there are times that the pull of those threads becomes greater than the strength of the relationship. In these times, no matter how much two people love each other, a relationship must grow strong or be torn apart.
The Carousel is about what happens when life doesn't turn out the way that we planned. More than a love story, it is about faith, loyalty, and sacrifice.
My hope is that you, and those with whom you share this audiobook, might find the message of this story meaningful and applicable to your own life.
And that in some way you might feel changed.
Sincerely,
Richard Paul Evans

“Evans’ greatest achievement in this novel is his portrayal of lovers as they exist, not behind closed doors but in the world—a world in which our commitments to friends, family, and work (what we perceive to be our obligations) often get in the way of what our hearts desire. As in all of his work, the emphasis in The Carousel is on sacrifice and faith, and what happens when things don't ‘turn out the way that we planned.’”
