Story
Twenty-one-year-old Rebecca Hardin is determined to help provide for her family, living a hardscrabble life in 1910 in the Southern Kentucky hills. Her brother, Andy, died when he became lost in a cave five years earlier, and Rebecca feels responsible for his death because she'd told him to "go, get lost". The best wages at Mammoth Cave are earned by the guides, who receive a salary plus tips from the guests. But only men are allowed to be guides, so Rebecca cuts her hair, dons some of Andy's clothes, and introduces herself as Reb to the estate manager.

I really enjoyed this picture of life and the people of the cavern area. It showed that rich or poor, black or white can be friends. I felt that there should be a sequel to this novel where their is faith in action.

What made the experience of listening to The Waiting the most enjoyable?
The characters in the book are believable and I picture them in my head as the book progresses. Very interesting development of the plot from many angles. I would love to have this continued as a series.
