A Heart for Home
After listening to all three unabridged audio books in this series (found out later continued
from two other series) I find this author is definitely not on my "favorites list." This particular story line was somewhat more interesting than the first book in the series. However, left a few unanswered questions. Again, the narrator was the best part of the book!
