About this listen

Mistaken identity leads to romance, laughter, and second chances in this inspirational historical romance.

The Kansas community of Fairland anticipates the arrival of their new minister. Over the past several months, late in 1882, postmistress Grace Cristler has communicated with Reverend Dille via letters, answering his questions about the little town and its members and developing an affection for the man who pens thoughtful missives.

Theophil Garrison grew up under the loving influence of his saintly grandmother, but when Theo's older cousins make plans to rob a train and involve him in the heist, he flees the scene. While the cousins are on the run and out to avenge Theo's duplicity, he comes across a fatally ill traveler - a minister. Seeing a way to evade his troubles, Theo trades identities with the man, dons his fine black suit, carries a Bible, and prays that he'll be accepted as Rufus Dille.

In a short time "ministering" in Fairland, Theo finds himself falling for Grace, stumbling through sermons, but becoming enmeshed in the triumphs and trials of the people in the community. When Theo's true identity is uncovered, what will be left of the wonderful world he has built for himself, Grace, and those in the town who have come to love and accept him?

The storyline is good. I appreciate “clean” books without the filthy language . I skipped several chapters because the male voices sounded as though they were all 10 year old boys.

Narration sounds like a child is performing the male voices.

The idea for the plot was promising. The actual interactions especially between Grace and the preacher falls flat. I had a hard time believing them. And reddening of the face is overplayed so much it could have been a drinking game (I don't drink). Surely there are other ways to show romantic interest.

Good Plot. Subpar execution.

I loved hearing about real cities in Kansas. The love story she creates in each book has me going back to find another one by her.

Kim knows how to write good books.

I enjoyed the story. I was sadly disappointed in the performance. Most disappointing was the “male” characters soundly painfully female and even childlike. Many of the female characters had deeper voices than the male characters.
My hope is that this criticism be taken constructively, so that perhaps, future narrations will be more believable.

The story was pretty predicable, but sweet and uplifting. I have enjoyed several of Kim Vogel Sawyer's book's but I am always disappointed in the abrupt endings. I wish the author would add an epilogue. Narrator was below average, but not terrible. The male voices sounded like children.

If you read this book, you will probably enjoy it. However, Stephanie Kozar’s narration ruined it for me. She’s talented. But the screeching characters portrayed with such stupidity and horrible voices, made me question her plan. Here is a hint to all narrators: start with the main character hero and make his voice the very lowest one in the book and never make him sound stupid. Even if he’s from the country, he can be educated to some degree. I know the author created the character. However a “deep baritone voice” does sound like a 12 year old boy.

Bad Narration

I enjoyed the storyline. The woman reading is a great reader but made the voices sound childish. She would be a great children's story reader.

Good story

I haven’t read many historical romances in years but this delve into history is sweet. Looking with today’s eyes the views on Native Americans and the ways they were treated on reservations the story grates a bit that way but as a historical romance it isn’t surprising for the characters to view the Natives as savages though while teaching of the saviors love historically the stripping of Native pride and white washing the children is brutal
