About this audiobook
What if you could see into the future and know what will happen tomorrow, if you really walk out that door today. Pay attention. Life is not a dress rehearsal.
From their first meeting, to their stunning engagement and lavish wedding, to their happily-ever-after, Noah and Emily Carter were meant to be together. Theirs is a special kind of love and they want the world to know. More than a million adoring fans have followed their lives on Instagram since the day Noah publicly proposed to Emily. But behind the carefully staged photos and encouraging posts, their life is anything but a fairytale, and Noah’s obsession with social media has ruined everything.
Distraught, Emily reaches out to her friend Kari Baxter Taylor and tells her the truth: Noah and Emily have decided to call it quits. He is leaving in the morning.
But when Noah wakes the next day, everything is different. Emily is gone and the kids are years older. Like Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, bizarre and strange events continue throughout the night so that Noah is certain he’s twenty years older, and he is desperate for a second chance.
Now it would take a miracle to return to yesterday.
When We Were Young is a rare and beautiful love story that takes place in a single day. It’s about the gift of knowing what tomorrow will bring if you really walk out that door today.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a VERY GOOD book! Everyone should read it. It’s a good reminder of what God thinks about marriage.
PLEASE READ IT! - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Loved the story!!
Took away 1 star because audio cut out several min in several spots throughout the book. I was able to follow along but some parts were vital unfortunately. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was a sweet story but sort of unrealistic. Not every kid whose parents get divorced wind up trashing their life. I also wish the majority of the book was about Noah pursuing his wife not watching the marriage dissolve and then only a few unrealistic chapters at the end. Not very authentic
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Marriage is work for both partners. God and imagination are integral in resolving the mess two people find themselves in
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When We Were Young is one of my favorite Karen Kingsbury books. I highly recommend this one!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm grateful to an older friend for introducing me to the writing of Karen Kingsbury. Her writing is truly inspired and I believe offers hope.
