The chosen one by carol lynch williams audiobook excerpt
Personal
Williams has six daughters and a son. Williams grew up in Florida but currently lives in Utah.
Overall themes and response
Williams read as part of the English Department reading series in the fall of 2008. John Bennion noted about that her characters "return love for cruelty." Williams' characters have to deal with abuse, aging, death, suicide, and other difficult challenges, yet rise above all of these difficulties. Bennion remarked, "we identify with her young women adults because they come out independent, relying on themselves." Williams' work has also been praised as "Intensely gripping and grippingly intense", "absorbing", "outstanding", and "stunning, gut-punching, heart-wrenching, heart-healing."
