Publisher's summary

As an infant, Running Brook is kidnapped by the Comanche; as a teenager, she is rescued by gentle Quakers and introduced to Christian beliefs; as a young adult, she searches for love and her true heritage.

Discreetly disguised as a boy, Brook travels to Texas with a tantalizing young army captain and his Indian guide. There she finds her father who welcomes her with open arms. But Brook's stepmother and Ram, her handsome stepbrother, resent her. When she accidently discovers Ram's underhanded schemes, she knows that her life is in danger. Isolated on the ranch, is there anywhere she can go for help? Would she dare to turn to Captain Jeremy Grant for help? She had finally found her real family, but had she lost her heritage? This story weaves together adventure, faith, and love in a captivating story.

This Stole My Heart

This is one of my favorite of Barbara's stories. Although I know that I say that as I listen or read another! I listen every spare second I have and yes, I have become a little obsessed with her books. The reason? They speak to me with her gentle words of faith and how it is an integral part of her message but not overpowering. The first pages really tore at my heart but was necessary to set up the background of the main character Running Brook. She is taken by Indians when she is an infant and her mother killed and is raised by them. Then rescued when she was about sixteen by a Quaker family and taught the ways of the white man and being a Christian.
When her rescuers think they have located two possibilities for her real family, she is escorted to Texas by Capt Jeremy Grant and his Indian guide.
What a wonderful journey and with one of my favorite narrators Leon Nixon, the story comes alive. The prologue actually brought tears to my eyes and I could only sigh with the happiness Barbara's stories bring....

Realistic premise

I enjoyed the sweet story based on the idea of a kidnapped baby. There was a lot of adventure, romance and included realistic characters, some good and others not so nice. That made for an interesting read.

Entertainment with a religion and history lesson

Would you listen to Stolen Heritage again? Why?

I enjoyed listening to this book but it isn't one I would listen to more than once. It is very simplified and not terribly realistic but it was a nice story and worth listening to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The grandmother added a little comedy.

Which scene was your favorite?

When she meets her real grandmother.

Any additional comments?

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Good book. Great reader.

I had such a bad audio book. It would skip like a record and would jump all around. I tried re downloading and on to a different device and it was still the same.

The book itself was a good story. The narrator was really good.

Unexpected Story

I have listened to several books by Barbara Goss and found this one to be one of my favorites. This story started out unexpected and has some great twists and even humor. I thought the characters were well developed. I think the author does a great job with her christian writing and has some great messages in her books. Leon Nixon did a very good performance with this book and had fitting emotions for the various characters. This book is a clean listen and is complete. I was provided with this review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely look for more books by this author and narrator.

Historical Romance with Strong Female Lead

Running Brook was kidnapped as an infant and raised by the Comanche until she was 16. Rescued and taken in by a Quaker couple, she's taught about God and learns to speak English. Two years later, the gentle Quaker man tracks down two families that lost infant girls who might be Running Brook. He enlists Captain Jeremy Grant and his friend Dusty to take Running Brook to Fort Worth to reunite with her family.

When the book begins, Running Brook is disguised as a boy and travels with the men to Fort Worth. Along the way, she and Dusty become easy friends, the Indian man reminding her of a childhood friend. She and Captain Grant clash during the trip, and her conflicting feelings for the hard man have her doubting his morals. When she arrives in Forth Worth, she meets a family who might be her own, but they carry secrets that put her in danger.

This was another great historical romance from Barbara Goss! She did a great job portraying the hardships faced by the Native Americans on reservations during that time period. Brook was a strong female lead, and held her own against the intrigue. I especially loved Maggie and Flora, both were motherly characters I could picture in real life. The writing is simple and straightforward, and contains a Christian message.

The narration was well done, Leon Nixon has a great voice and tone. He narrates evenly and not dramatically. I received a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

Any additional comments?


This story line centers around Brook, the female lead, and her journey home.

She travels with two young men and she is drawn to one of them.

This book had a bit of everything from family reunions, a bit of danger, and romance.

Overall, a captivating historical romance.

Leon Nixon did well wihth the narration.

Beautiful

Would you consider the audio edition of Stolen Heritage to be better than the print version?

I did not read the print edition but the audio book was great. The narrator had just the right voice for each character and each scene.

What other book might you compare Stolen Heritage to and why?

All of the author's books are filled with the elements that made this story good. romance, tragedy, forgiveness, twists, and turns but best of all God woven into the entire story.

Which scene was your favorite?

The weddings

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?
