Lynn Austin flawlessly blends history, family dynamics, and the Christian faith in All My Secrets, elevating it to the pinnacle of storytelling. This is a heartfelt endorsement for readers seeking an extraordinary and spiritually enriching read!

The narrative unfolds as a rich tapestry, transcending the ordinary and immersing readers in the captivating world of Gilded Age splendor across generations. Harmonious chords resonate on every page, skillfully revealing the transformative journey of the Stanhope family through the eyes of the three main characters. It's a superb story for those desiring a multigenerational experience intertwined with profound truths of the Christian faith.

All My Secrets methodically illustrates resilience across three generations of Stanhope women as the sudden departure of Arthur Stanhope III propels Junietta, Sylvia, and Adelaide into a tumultuous journey, unraveling hidden family secrets.

At its core, the novel reaches deep into the transformative alchemy of God's love, forgiveness, and sovereignty. Lynn Austin's talented writing illuminates the complexities of each character, emphasizing the extraordinary impact of Christian faith on individuals and families.

The storyline undergoes a remarkable shift, as characters navigate the realms of everyday struggles, faith, redemption, and God's intricate plan. Junietta's resolute determination becomes a testament to Christian virtues and obedience, while Sylvia's inner turmoil transforms into a battleground where she learns to trust in God's control and surrender to His guidance.

The intergenerational dialogue becomes a tender exploration of grace, forgiveness, and the blessings of obedience, adding intense depth for a spiritually enriching experience.

The Gospel is presented clearly multiple times! Here is one of a multitude of quotes that this reader loves: “Simply follow Jesus. He’s always going in the right direction. And He asks only two things of us. First, that we love God with all our heart. Putting Him first in everything we do, letting Him direct our life, worshipping Him alone instead of money or success or fame. And second, that we love our neighbor as we love ourself. Not turning away from someone in need. Forgiving people who have hurt you. Doing the loving thing, even at a cost to ourselves.”

Lynn Austin's portrayal of Gilded Age New York is impeccable, serving as a fascinating stage for characters to live out genuine faith. All My Secrets completely captivates with an insightful message of authentic faith, resilience, and strength found in God's boundless love and grace. The characters' spiritual growth beautifully demonstrates the transformative power of God’s grace and the beauty of His plan. Storytelling doesn’t get any better than this!


I received an eARC for All My Secrets from Tyndale House Publishers through NetGalley and a paperback edition via Tyndale House. I am not required to write a positive review nor paid to do so. This is my honest and unbiased review. My thoughts and opinions expressed in this book review are my own. My review focuses on this story’s amazingly excellent content, ensuring transparency and reliability.
