So refreshing


(5 stars)

This author has the best imagination ! She who lived in the 1800s, did an amazing job and is as current as any stories today. She's just plainly a joy to listen to :)

Sweet book of conversion and romance


(5 stars)

An unlikely set of circumstances, which one is willing to overlook in enjoying a lovely little story of redemption and love.

Typically great GLH book. (an comment on reader's voice)


(5 stars)

(I've listened to this before. I'm going back through books and making sure to review and date.) 1st- this would be a great book/mini-series. 2nd- its GLH (and the summary is accurate). So you know it's good. One person commented on the readers voice: apparently she hasn't heard a bevvy of young ladies chatting. The reader's voice is SPOT ON for this book! in fact, if you increase the playback speed, it REALLY sounds like my daughter's and her friend when they get excited about a plan. :-) August, 2021

(4 stars)

This is a short sweet idealistic little book with little trouble and lots of joy. It isn't very deep or profound, but certainly fun and I enjoyed listening to it. The sound quality is great and the reader is clear.
