This is Sandi Rebert’s first audiobook an I am very impressed as her talents for writing, acting, along with play writing shines through in this amazing story titled “”In Due Season.” If you love Historical Fiction set in Colonial Williamsburg that includes faith, forgiveness, redemption, salvation, a few twists and turns, lovable characters, not so likable characters, with a sprinkle of romance added in then you will definitely enjoy this story.
In this wonderful story of the Colonies, we meet John, a young lad who ended up at a workhouse though no fault of his own, but through circumstances that he had absolutely no control over. After a while, tired of the brutality forced upon him, he devises a plan of escape. Finally, after a few tries he is able to stow away on a ship headed for the Colonies, in search of freedom. Unfortunately, circumstances don’t allow him an easy voyage to freedom, but as trouble peruses him and he is almost thrown overboard. A little hope comes when he meets Mr. Nathaniel, but hope is lost again, as he cannot make the deadline in time to rescue John at that time and because of that, John becomes an indentured servant working for a Cobbler named Mr. Richardson and his son, Bradley, whom doesn’t take to kindly to John and makes more trouble for John and his situation. As the story continues, there are many more characters that we are introduced to, many that you really enjoy and others that you may want to throw out with the dirty water, The story has a few twist and turns that will keep you reading well into the night and you will experience a vast amount of emotions as the story continues to develop and pull you in further.
I loved how Sandi transformed you back to another time and another place with all the different descriptions of the sounds that you heard, the buildings that you saw, the food that you smelled and feasted upon with your eyes, the characters personalities, hardships that they endured, the differences and difficulties between the classes at that time and so much more that enriched the story even more. Sandi did an amazing job making you feel you were back in time, right next to them, and feeling all the emotions, the unfairness of the day and pain that they were experiencing. For me personally, if an author can be that descriptive with their words, that makes the story come alive and captures your emotions with descriptions that immerse you in the book like you were there physically, then that makes the book so much more enjoyable and entertaining. Mrs. Rebert also did an excellent job on researching the historical facts in the story and that is clearly evident as you are reading the story.
It is also worth noting too that every character in the book was given a different voice and personality when Sandi was reading her book. I assume she was able to do that very easily and effectively because of her God given talent of writing and acting in plays, and that made it more interesting as you were listening to it and added more enjoyable as a whole.
Another point that is of major importance to me is that Sandi clearly and unashamedly added the gospel throughout the story. I really appreciate the importance of having the gospel shared with clarity especially for those who may be listening to the book and may not know Christ as Saviour. Many authors today do not add the gospel in anymore or water it down because of fear that it will be to much. I am thankful for those who do not water it down or are not ashamed of the gospel and leave me wondering if I am actually reading a Christian Fiction book or just a clean read. With Sandi’s books I definitely know I am reading a Christian story and that is so appreciated.
Another thing I really appreciate is that Sandi read the story at a great pace, not to fast where I had to back it up and not to slow where it would be drawn out. That definitely helped in keeping my attention while listening to the story.
I definitely will be watching, waiting and reading anything that Sandi Rebert writes in the future and highly recommended this audiobook titled “In Due Season.”

I was given a complimentary copy of the audiobook from the author and wasn’t required to leave a review good or bad and the opinions here are strictly my own.
