Vlog: Find Wonder in All Things by Karen M. Cox

Should I Stay or Should I Go? Laurel Elliot's Decision.

Similar to Anne Elliot and Fredrick Wentworth from Jane Austen’s Persuasion, in Find Wonder in All ThingsLaurel Elliot and James Marshall form an easy friendship and an immediate relationship. Yet, is their love strong enough to brave uncertainties and fears?

Listen in on James and Laurel’s conversation about the future.





What are your thoughts? Does Laurel sound convinced that James will make something of himself? What do you think her parents' response will be to Laurel wanting to move to Nashville? What are some other Persuasion variations/adaptations that you have enjoyed reading?

  1. I'm looking forward to reading this! I don't think Laurel's parents will be happy with them moving to Nashville. ;)

    1. I hope you get to read it soon, Candy! I am not sure what gives you the impression Laurel's parent won't be happy about her moving to Nashville. ;)

  2. Great vlog, Jakki! And great reading - your voice inflections definitely helped tell listeners who was speaking! Hearing that passage makes me want to read the book all over again!

    1. Thanks for saying that, Meredith! I had a real struggle getting the inflection down on this one (and still feel that it could have been better) ;)
