Publisher Description
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

"I can always count on Richard Paul Evans for a good, quick read that forces me to stop thinking about myself and instead think about the things that are really important. I really enjoyed this one, which is a sequel to The Locket. By the way, I just learned that the trilogy goes like this: The Locket, The Looking Glass, and then the Carousel. So, I guess I missed a step!"

" It was good and I enjoyed it tho not as much as some of his other books. I hate to read about people dying in hospitals and nursing homes. Too close to home for me I guess, but I still give it four stars and 2 thumbs up!! "
— Linda, 2/18/2014 -
" Seemed like a lot of tragedy and difficult circumstances that the characters had to overcome; then everything turns out in the end (typical RPE stories). A pretty good read. "
— Camille, 2/14/2014 -
" Held my attention, but the side-story with Judy/Hallie and her daughter was lame. "
— Kerry, 2/6/2014 -
" Tender love story. Not outstanding but very satisfying. "
— Kimberly, 1/31/2014 -

" Really nice read; haven't been disappointed by anything by this author yet...(after four in a row) "
— DeRonda, 1/26/2014 -
" I didn't like it as well as the locket. Having said that it was still a good book, you are never sure how it will end. More tragity in this book. Alittle bit of a downer. "
— Wayne, 1/20/2014 -
" Ok this was one if the better ones, it's still a tear jerker but that's the kind of book it is I like the ending and that us what gets me in the the end. :) "
— Felicia, 1/18/2014 -
" This book reinforced my belief that life doesn't always turn out as you plan. But that doesn't mean there can't be a happy ending. My favorite quote in this book, of which there are many, is: "Life, like a good book, often comes full circle". Like a carousel. "
— Theresa, 1/4/2014 -
" Richard Paul Evans tells a heartwarming story about life, our choices and just how difficult life can be. He also writes about hope, forgiveness and caring for those less fortunate. I enjoyed the story. "

" love just like the weather; not always bright and warm, sometimes it's windy, sometimes it's stormy and u can't stand the pressure.but, only true love can resist whateva weathers that may come. "
— hidayah, 12/14/2013 -
" Entertaining but sad. It portrayed life's ups and downs (there were a lot of downs), and ended in "calm waters." I won't be reading this book again. "
— Emily, 11/20/2013 -

" I liked this book. It was the third one of the trilogy but I liked the series overall. Not generally the genre I would just pick up but glad I read them. "
— Peggy, 9/1/2013 -
" I enjoyed this story. I love Michael. He always says that he doesn't deserve Faye. But I feel the other way. There are times her and her family do not deserve him in their lives. He has so much heart & soul. I can't wait to read the 3rd book in the trilogy. "
