RUINED

Narrator Pamela Almand's warm, motherly tone seamlessly guides listeners through Ruth Everhart's memoir. The author is seeking to understand the truth about God's will, the value of self-worth, and the gift of redemption after she is raped as a college student. As the book ranges from flashbacks to intense conversations to isolated prayers, Almand imbues each scene and character with vibrant and distinctive qualities that listeners will latch onto. After Almand concludes the last chapter of the audiobook, Everhart's soothing voice delivers the epilogue, a letter to her daughters. As she explains what prompted her to share her story, Everhart offers listeners a brief and honest reflection of her soul searching, growth, and renewed belief in God.
