About this listen
Step back in time to the year 1900 and meet Emma Sue Martin, a baby born into the world without a mother. Raised on sheer grit and unshakable determination by her tough father, Emma Sue inherits the family's sprawling five-hundred-acre farm after he passes away when she's just seventeen.
Despite pressure from well-meaning neighbors who urge her to sell the farm or find a man to take care of her, Emma Sue remains steadfast in her love and commitment to the land that has been in her family since 1781. She's determined to stand on her own two feet and make a life for herself in the only place she's ever called home.
But her steadfastness is put to the ultimate test when the federal government initiates a decades-long campaign of forced removal of Emma Sue and her neighbors from the region known as Between the Rivers, nestled in the wilds of western Tennessee and Kentucky. While many of her friends and neighbors resign themselves to their fate, Emma Sue refuses to budge, arguing with authorities, "Why should I move and make my home somewhere else when I'm already home?"
As if her battle with the government wasn't enough, Emma Sue also finds herself facing unexpected complications of the heart. Despite her initial reluctance, she falls head over heels for Sam Holden at the age of forty-one, and they finally marry when she's fifty-two. But as we all know, love is never easy, and their journey is fraught with challenges and surprises.

Story
Roscoe Ransom returned home from World War I, broken both in body and spirit, drowning his pain daily in a bottle of whiskey. But even alcohol can’t numb the agony of losing his wife or the fear of trying to raise his son, Junior, alone. However, the mind-numbing predictability of Roscoe’s life as a sharecropper and his role of town sheriff - a job given to him out of pity when he returned from the war - is suddenly upended when a black man in their tiny community is murdered and castrated.

Tear jerker
Slow to get started. Got interesting in the middle. Sad ending. AI narration was ok, but I prefer the human emotion.

Terrible reading.
Using an AI vocal to do the reading made the author sound like he was illiterate. Seriously if your going to read this don’t use audible.

Horrible narrator
The narrator was so bad, I couldn’t bear another minute. I’d like to hear the story, but not like this.

Terrible!
While I found it very interesting hearing the story of the TVA land grab of the 50’s and early 60’s, this story was the most poorly written story I have ever heard on audible. To top off the poor writing, the computer narration was horrible. There was no emotion or feeling shown in the reading. I only finished it because I had nothing else. Would NOT recommend.

Horrible narration
Okay. I tried to get through the awful narration, but when a man who died alone in a hollow was alive later on, I couldn’t do it anymore. If I could return it, I would!!!
