Wonderful story of love and faith
Reviewed: 10-13-21
This tale of love between a decent-hearted farmer and a devout young lady with a limp captured my heart as well. Stanton's and Beth's respect and kindness for each other was so touching and admirable. Even in times of emergency and fear, Beth's faith in God held firm, which encouraged Stanton. The narrator did a wonderful job, and I enjoyed his elegant intonation and voicing of different characters.

Martial arts and slavery in a YA adventure
Reviewed: 07-09-20
Annie Douglass Lima weaves an engrossing tale about a slave boy who competes in martial arts tournaments to try to win the freedom of his sister, who is also a slave. The story seems like it might have taken place now, with references to cell phones and healthy smoothies, but the theme of slavery gives the listener pause for somber reflection. The narration is engaging and keeps one's attention, making the audiobook seem shorter than its 12-hour duration.

Sweet Mail-Order Bride Romance
Reviewed: 06-10-20
This is an enjoyable short audiobook about a young woman who escapes scandalous rumors in Boston society by becoming a mail order bride out west but finds herself in another altogether dangerous predicament. Narrator Colleen Weaver has a pleasant speaking voice and gives life to the various characters, ranging from a young girl to a devious saloon owner. I'd recommend this audiobook if you have just a few hours at your disposal.
