I was first introduced to Lynn Austin's books from a cousin of mine, who became friends with Lynn when the Austin family was living in Manitoba. I read the book with no expectations, simply doing so because my cousin had mentioned it. Well I quickly realized the friendship factor aside, why my cousin so loved her books, and I became equally enamored with Lynn's writing.
In Though Waters Roar, you will hear of the tale involving three generations of females. Each one swimming against the current in their own way in their circumstances. Through the reminiscing of Harriet as she spends a night in jail after being arrested during Prohibition, we follow the lives of her grandmother Bebe and mother Lucy.
Bebe moves from farm life to high society with her marriage. Day by day struggling to stay afloat in their new surrounding she finds her niche in helping the less fortunate much to the chagrin of her hoity toity mother-in-law.
Lynn Austin weaves a compelling historical story, focusing on change and the never changing God. While the circumstances in life may bend like a river and "though waters roar" only true change of attitude and contentment can be found with Him.
