A sweet American Cinderella Story

The virtual voice did amazingly well with the different types of speech in this story. I also appreciated the sincerity of faith that the main characters displayed. I think this story would be even better if it were expanded to include more details from the personal histories of the main characters and more development of the Underground Railroad work in Philadelphia.

Might be better read than listened to

The narration of the story distracted from it quite a bit. I had trouble finishing it. I enjoyed the sweet story, but could hardly get past the audio.
