Publisher's summary

With Pap hauled off to the state penitentiary, Bettina finally feels safe. Living with Nanny Fay Tucker, working as a packhorse librarian, and being courted by Shay Leeson is a life beyond anything she'd imagined. And it's only going to get better. Because soon she'll be an honorary auntie to her best friend Addie's baby, and--for sure not much longer--she'll exchange vows with Shay and become his wife. Things in Boone's Hollow couldn't be rosier...until she gets word that the governor suspended Pap's sentence and he'll be coming back sooner than she expected.

Shay wants to marry her real quick and take her out of Boone's Hollow. But how can she go when Nanny Fay needs her and Addie's baby isn't here yet? Pap's return creates a storm in her relationship with Shay. And then another storm--one brewing way overseas--stirs trouble all over Black Mountain.

Will Bettina's world fall apart again? Or will the lessons she's learned from Nanny Fay about holding tight to the One who can calm any storm take her to a place of peace?

Needs a live narrator

This sequel was not as good as the first book. But it was okay.

I love all books by this author.

This is part of a two book series. If you are looking for a feel food christian book you have found it.

Narration

I was disappointed in the AI narration. I liked the storyline and expected to hear the same narrator as book 1.

Great Story - but the "Virtual Voice" Narration!

The "Virtual Voice" is just bad. Common words mispronounced (library should be a no-brainer), inflections, emotion - gone. I wish they'd just paid a narrator the way they have on Kim Vogel Sawyer's other books.

Enjoyed story and character development.

Will not choose any more books narrated by virtual voice. Words mispronounced (not referring to dialect), Minimal inflection.

Uplifting read

Loved the plot. The characters were genuine, real and engaging. I love historical fiction and enjoy stories set in the 1940s.

Loved the continuation of Boone Hollow, but…

Loved the continuation of the story but hated the AI story voice!! Should have stuck with the beautiful voice of Kate Forbes!!!

wonderful story bad narration

Hated the virtual voice. Pronunciation was horrible and cardamom was off. I will do my best to always listen to a real person!! Please pay actual people to read the stories.

Not a fan of virtual voice!

I loved the story! It was excellent-fascinating, heart warming and I really liked the characters! I have to say, though, that I hope you don’t continue to do virtual voice. It was really, really disconcerting and I won’t listen to anymore books that are narrated in that way.

Please no more virtual voice!!!!!

I enjoyed the series. However I was so disappointed with the virtual voice that if it had not been the sequel I would have not listened to it. Kate Forbes narrated The first book. The librarians of Boone hollow and it was an amazing job. The only reason I gave the performance one star was because it would not let me continue with the review if I did not fill in at least one star. Which also brought the rating of overall down as well.
So I will never listen to another book with virtual voice. I truly love the author and hopefully this will not be a continued option she chooses.
And I also it is not something Audible decides to continue.
