What Readers Are Saying:
"Jayne’s Endeavour is a sweet story of joy, trust, hope, and family. I enjoyed reading the 19-century tale of Australian farm life . . . The struggles of the girls, their dependence on God, and the bits of mystery and danger throughout the book wove together into an encouraging and inspiring story." --Erika Matthews, Author and Blogger
"Lauren paints the Australian landscape vividly, even for this American, so that you almost feel as if you were there . . .The most refreshing quality of this book, in my opinion, is that it contains NO romance. It was nice to be able to focus on the “meat” of the story and not be sidelined by “fluff”. This is a completely clean, God-honoring read that I would be be proud to hand to a girl of any age and not think twice!" --Tara, Book Reviewer and Blogger
