We listened to The People's Lawyer: Lettie Portman, Book 1. There are a number of differences to Lettie Portmans life in Book 2 when compared to Book 1. Her Husband has some how disappeared in three months or is it 6 months time, both time periods are suggested in book 2. There are so many difference in the story of the main characters life that it is like a different author, who had not read the first book, wrote this one. I also thought that any editor worth their weight would have picked up on the differences. We have listened to a number of Thaddeus Murfee Legal Thriller Series, and the stories were good, but the writing was not the same quality or the attention to any of the details. The only saving grace was the Narrator - Therese Plummer. We have found that she does an excellent job with any book she narrates.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a slow paced life story that had a few surprises and was so well written that it kept my attention. I will read from this author again & recommend it to my friends.

I couldn't listen to this book. Something that should have been encouraging and uplifting was not worth listening to. The narrator can't read and has difficulty pronouncing words. His start and stop - stunted method of reading is sad. I won't get another book with him narrating.

This is the story of women; women in one maternal line and how they lived, survived, had faith, worked hard and raised their daughters/families. From one generation to the next, this story continues down through the daughters. Through WWI, WWII, Vietnam and other strife such as the great depression.
The Author is so talented, she keeps the reader engaged and feeling part of the story, experiencing emotions of the characters.
It's a sad tale with so much hardship, so many things to overcome...it's a story of woman passing their faith in the Lord Jesus from one generation to the next and of passing their love.
Excellent! Well worth the time and listen! It' is a faith-inspiring novel(s) that is sure to stir desires of your own life!

Have listened to all of the series and they are good stories. The music between stories isn't needed.

We have listened to all the of the series but this story isn't as well written as the others. Still worth listening to just a bit disappointing. Maybe the author has too many projects under her various pen names.

Helps to tie the first story to this one, a continuation of the first. Love small town stories, mysteries in small town give you so much more of the characters imagery.

Loved the whole series. Humour, easily followed, you want to know what is next. The characters are awesome and fit well together. O'Reilly makes the stories and Patrick Taylor is an awesome author and story teller.
