“If I Were You is an immersive experience, not only into the dangers and deprivations of wartime England, but into the psychological complexities of characters desperate to survive. . . . With her signature attention to detail and unvarnished portrayal of the human heart, Lynn Austin weaves a tale of redemption that bears witness to Christ’s power to make all things new.”

SHARON GARLOUGH BROWN, author of the Sensible Shoes series and Shades of Light

“Lynn Austin’s If I Were You is a powerful story of heart-wrenching loss, our desperate need to be understood, to forgive and be forgiven, and the loving sacrifice found in true friendship. A compelling read, beautifully written, celebrating the strength of faith and the power of sisterhood.”

CATHY GOHLKE, Christy Award–winning author of The Medallion and Night Bird Calling

“A master at inviting readers onto a journey and sweeping them away with her elegant prose, Lynn Austin once again transports readers back in time to England. If I Were You is a beautiful story about courage, relentless love, and the transforming power of forgiveness.”

MELANIE DOBSON, award-winning author of Memories of Glass and The Curator’s Daughter

“Lynn Austin’s tradition of masterful historical fiction continues in If I Were You, an impeccably researched look into the lives of two remarkable women. Her unparalleled skill at evoking the past . . . will appeal to fans of Ariel Lawhon and Lisa Wingate. While longtime fans will appreciate this introspective tale from a writer who deeply feels the nuances of human nature, those uninitiated will immediately recognize why her talented pen has led her to near-legendary status in the realm of inspirational fiction. An unforgettable read.”

RACHEL MCMILLAN, author of The London Restoration

“Lynn Austin knows how to create conflict with her characters. Par excellence. Her latest novel is no exception. If I Were You tells the story of a Downton Abbey–like friendship between Audrey, from the nobility, and Eve, a servant at Audrey’s manor house. . . . Bold and brilliant and clever, If I Were You will delight Lynn’s multitude of fans and garner many new ones.”
