This is a great wholesome book for middle schoolers. The reader reads much too fast to grasp what is being read, although I love her enthusiasm!

We just finished this book for the second time. The way Elsie overcomes her many challenges through faith in Jesus Christ and trust in His power to save is inspiring to me and my girls. We love the scriptural quotations throughout the book. I suppose most girls of Elsie's age might not know the Bible as well as she does, but that doesn't spoil the story for us at all; it just makes me want to know and love the scriptures better myself. Thank you to all the readers for making this audiobook accessible to us. May God bless you for your kind service!

I was both repulsed and fascinated by this book as a child, and listening as an adult I realize how inappropriate this story really is for modern children (with its racialized depictions of enslaved people as being happy and content, the disturbing amount of child abuse, and incestuous/pedophilic subtext). Still worth reading, though, for its historical moment, and perhaps as a contrast to Little Women

Well, I made it through ten minutes but gave up in a state of nerves because the reader was galloping along so fast that I couldn't catch many of the words. Also I think it is going to be one of those goody two shoes, moralising sort of books that I am getting tired of. Not for me, sorry.

Great book but after reading this book a third time I started to hate how Finley depicted Elsie. She’s literally a girl version of Jesus. She has no real emotions which makes the book too much of a fairytale.
