The Chance: A Novel Audiobook

It was over a decade ago when Ellie moved to California. Back in Georgia, she and her confidant Nolan wrote letters to one another under the shade of an old oak tree. Safely kept in a metal case, Ellie and Nolan were meant to reopen and read their letters to one another in eleven years.

Now that the time quickly approaches for this reunion, the changes of their life paths cannot be greater. Ellie has lost the faith of her youth and lives in a rundown home, as a mom, alone. Only occasionally does she catch a glimpse of Nolan on t.v.

Nolan, a star basketball player has been driven to the heights of success in athletics and in his connection to his faith, all because of some very difficult personal losses; though he has soared to the top, Nolan has always felt an unrelenting sense of absence.

Will faith, loss, and the wounds that love can salve finally unite Nolan and Ellie? Find out in Kingsbury's The Chance.

Karen Kingsbury was born in 1963. She writes Christian novels. Her career in writing began with the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Daily News where she kept a sports column. She has been published in People Magazine, and her first novel Missy's Murder was based on a murder story she had covered as a journalist in Los Angeles. Over forty novels later, Kingsbury is a number one New York Times bestselling author and has over thirteen million copies of her books in print.

"Rather than review each of Karen's books, let me just say Karen's books are consistently excellent, and this one is no exception. She deals with all kinds of subjects and is not afraid to address life's serious issues directly. All uphold high ideals and Christian viewpoint but I will say I think anyone with any viewpoint would enjoy and stand to learn something from her stories. Each stands as a literary masterpiece on its own merits. But unlike so many masterpieces, this is just a totally good read, just for the joy of it. If you are tired of the second rate variety that is definitely out there, I would recommend that you try any of her stories for yourself. My wife and I preorder each new book she writes and listen in the car when possible. I think we have collected most of her stories and have listened to most of them several times, always enjoying them as much as re-runs as we did the first time. My wife's friend at work has also listened to most of them and shares our sentiments about them. The characters are developed very well and the stories keep you on the edge of your seat. I have also learned a lot about many aspects of life that I was never taught and I didn't know anyone who had experienced that. I think it has helped me understand people a little better than I did before. I always enjoy learning something of value whenever I can. What a good way to build that into a trip to the store! "
