Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Changing Habits
Debbie Macomber · 2004
🎙 Narrated by Trini Alvarado
70/100
👍 Worth It
Macomber weaves real historical texture into the story of three young nuns navigating faith, vocation, and love during the early women's movement, and readers say it's more substantial than the premise suggests. Just know the audiobook is an abridged edition, so you're getting a condensed version of the story — the sensitive themes are handled with a gentle, non-graphic touch true to Macomber's style.
