Patricia leaves her Amish home in Lancaster to pursue her dream of a career in Christian music. In the big city, she finds a family to rent a room from, a church where she can worship and sing in the choir, and a job singing--as a singing waitress in a restaurant. She's got good people around her, but she's not making much progress on her dream.

She's also found a rival, another young Amish woman, Valerie, at her new church, who also has dreams of a music career, and is prepared to cut down anyone who might be in her way. Valerie is beautiful and also an excellent singer.

Then two things happen. First, she meets a young man, David, whom she shares a strong attraction with, and who supports her dream as much as she does.

The second is a chance to enter a contest, a Christian music contest with a prize of $1,000 and contract with a Christian music label.

Valerie, of course, also enters.

Patricia is convinced this is the end of her dream, but her landlords/friends, and David, continue to show real confidence in her.

This is a sweet, gentle story, about keeping both your values and your dreams.

Recommended.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the publisher, and am reviewing it voluntarily.

Patricia leaves the comfort of her home to pursue her singing career. Growing up Amish has instilled a deep faith in her, and when things don't go her way, she looks into herself and God for the guidance. I love these short listens. The characters are easy to relate to, and this was especially entertaining as Patricia not only dives into singing, but may have found her Mr. Right! But will she find her purpose? And is he the one for her? Give it a listen and find out. Stephanie Richardson continues her narration with all the feels of a girl on a mission!

Heavenly Purpose (Audible Audio), my twenty-second read from Christian author Becca Fisher. An enjoyable, 57-minute short read/listen. I have to say that the author packs a lot into the pages of this Amish novelette. The message within its pages is powerful and should be read by all, this is perhaps Fisher’s best work that I’ve read. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reading & reviewing it. Stephanie Richardson’s narration adds to the short book's enjoyment. I'll be reading more from this author.
