Willa Cather
Marian Forrester arrives in Sweet Water as the treasured bride of a retired builder. To her husband she embodies the idealism of this railroad town on the Western plains. And to Niel Herbert, a smitten young local boy, she’s so perfect as to belong to a different world. But as Niel comes of age, the fortunes of Sweet Water decline, and as the promise of the frontier fades, his perception of the fallible woman he has idolized since boyhood is shattered.
Sketched against the sunset of American pioneer life, A Lost Lady is an indelible portrait of a woman who reflects, and defies, the conventions of her era.
Revised edition: Previously published as A Lost Lady, this edition of A Lost Lady (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

I think most could relate to in some form or another in familiar relationships as they change through struggle, time and circumstance.

This was a well written story told through the eyes of Niel Herbert, a young boy who lived in the same small town a Mrs. Forrester. We get to see the different stage of "admiration" Niel has for Mr. Forrester, from the time he is a young boy to a young man. This story is a lesson about how there is more than meets the eye when it comes to not only relationships but also what we are lead to believe are the important thing in life. A traditional theme during this time period is the upper class having to struggle and acclimate to their new monetary standards and the struggles they face to get accustom to it.
Stephen Dexter does a great job performing the story with a wonderful southern accent and individual voices/tones for each character. It sort of felt like he was sitting in the room with you reading the story while you went on about your day. The pace was perfect and you felt relaxed and at ease.
A Classic Wonderfully Performed!!
