Summary
WINNER!!! Christianity Today Award 2023 (print)!!!

Count your nights by stars, not shadows. Count your life with smiles, not tears.
1961. After a longtime resident at Nashville’s historic Maxwell House Hotel suffers a debilitating stroke, Audrey Whitfield is tasked with cleaning out the reclusive woman’s room. There, she discovers an elaborate scrapbook filled with memorabilia from the Tennessee Centennial Exposition. Love notes on the backs of unmailed postcards inside capture Audrey’s imagination with hints of a forbidden romance . . . and troubling revelations about the disappearance of young women at the exposition. Audrey enlists the help of a handsome hotel guest as she tracks down clues and information about the mysterious “Peaches” and her regrets over one fateful day, nearly sixty-five years earlier.

1897. Outspoken and forward-thinking Priscilla Nichols isn’t willing to settle for just any man. She’s still holding out hope for love when she meets Luca Moretti on the eve of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition. Charmed by the Italian immigrant’s boldness, Priscilla spends time exploring the wonderous sights of the expo with Luca―until a darkness overshadows the monthslong event. Haunted by a terrible truth, Priscilla and Luca are sent down separate paths as the night’s stars fade into dawn.

I was hopeful because the reviews were great and this VIP selection did not disappoint! Characters were wonderful, narrator brought them all to life with different voices and I loved the time flips. Don't let the Christian aspect dissuade you because this was a really good story.

Excellent, suspenseful book, written without the unnecessary addition of filth that is used as filler in so many other stories. Enjoyed it immensely!

There was little to no vouve change between Priscilla and Audrey which made it difficult to hear when the story was flipping back and forth

Historically interesting. Lots of detail for step by step visualization. But too preachy and religious. Goody-goody.

I loved , loved loved this book!the narrator was excellent and the story line was historically realistic. I also loved that it showed how being a Christian isn’t so black and white but it is all about showing love to all but especially the less fortunate . I’m about to listen once again!

What a wonderful, inspirational listen. Wish I could give the narrator 10 stars. She was so authentic. The story flowed from male to female without me ever even realizing it. I loved this book so much!!
