Forgiving Paris: A Novel

Written by Karen Kingsbury

Narrated by Kirby Heyborne and Tara Sands

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of life-changing fiction brings her signature “emotional, heart-tugging” (Woman’s World) prose to this wise and worldly novel of forgiveness and hope in the City of Lights.

In Indiana, Ashley Baxter Blake and her husband are about to take an anniversary trip to Paris, but she is hesitant. More than two decades ago, she made her most grievous mistake in that same city. She has never forgiven herself for what happened there, and she still harbors secrets that she’s afraid will come to light. Just before the trip, Ashley gets a call from her niece. Jessie explains that her French boyfriend’s mother remembers working at a bakery with an American named Ashley. “Could that be you?”

When Alice and Ashley meet, a flood of memories comes for both women, taking Ashley back to a reckless affair and an unexpected pregnancy and Alice to the night she nearly ended it all. Can this reunion bring healing and closure? Maybe it is finally time for Ashley to forgive herself...and Paris.

[carrie burton · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I love the book Karen kingsbury is amazing but the reader takes away from all the other readers and the book. Almost didn’t listen to it because of the way she reads this book.

[Liz Kirchner · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I fell in love with with the Baxter Family with “Redemption”. The story line is always great. Ashley going back to Paris was heart wrenching but good for her healing. There faith never falters. All around good book.
