What Matters Most (Abridged) Audiobook

" My first Luann Rice book. Decent story, but I really couldn't identify with any of the characters. Found myself skimming through pages so I could move onto something else. "

" Loved this book!! Ireland orphanage pair find each other and their parents after years. "

" Sequel to Sand Castles and is a must read if you read the first book. Luanne Rice really captures the feelings of a family! "

" I have been reading a lot of new authors lately and I just read this one and I have to say it is one of the best books I have ever read. It is a book whose characters wil be with me a long time. It is not a romance novel but a truly inspiring love story that takes place over 23 years and in Ireland and Connecticut. Wonderful book, I have shared it with all my friends. "

" This was a great story! Wonderfully written. Held my attention from beginning to end! "

" I literally sobbed at the end of this book. And I got so mad at Nancy for recommending it. But I really enjoyed it. "

" This book moved me to tears. A beautifully-spun story. "

" I adored this book! All I can say is, what a beautiful story and it also takes you to Ireland. "

" Loved this book...powerful and unique love story and loved the vivid descriptions of Ireland. "

" This was a good train book. Nothing special. "

" A good curl up by the fire on a cold winter evening kind of book! "

" More Luanne Rice. Great love story in the end. "

" This story is amazing. One of my favourite books of all time. "

" Stupid book. A lot of Catholic stuff. Would not recomend this to anyone. "

" I liked the story. It was sweet and kept me listening. "

" I would've given it three stars until the ending. Then it becomes some weird combo of The Thorn Birds meets Ghost. Dumb. "

" Two couples, Bernadette & Tom, and James & Kathleen, share a history. I enjoyed learning a bit about the Catholic culture with nuns. Set in Dublin and Connecticut, the family interactions were well developed, but the book did drag a bit. "

" Science fiction? A woman has a child and enters the convent?! "

" This almost reads like a trashy romance novel. Other than James/Seamus the characters are not really very likeable. I've enjoyed other novels by Rice, but this one left me feeling yucky about the story and the characters. "

" I liked this book however, I almost gave up on it a few times. One chapeter would hold my attention but the next two or three would'nt. "

" Very good book. I would read more by this author. "

" I lived this beautiful story if love and disappointment, with the underlying message that Gods miracles of love are around us every day! It's a must read! "

" A nun & her former lover journey to Ireland in search of the son they gave up for adoption. "

" I think I have read another of her books that took place in previous years. Good book. "

" I enjoyed this book. I really can't talk about it at all without giving away the plot. But it is definitely a different kind of love story. "

" one of luanne rice's best! but still, there's this question in my mind that remained unanswered: who's Brendan McCarthy's parents? "

" Good story about Family, Love and Devotion, Hardships and Life Consequences. The book bounces between the States and Ireland surrounding the intertwining lives of 4 characters. "

" Enjoyed the story, but some of the language bothered me. "

" I was hooked. I had the audio in the car and the book in my purse so I didn't miss a moment. the end was a SHOCKER. I cried though :( "

" I liked the story. It was sweet and kept me listening. "
