A story of honesty and humor for anyone who has ever lived and loved from New York Times best-selling author LaVyrle Spencer.

Agatha was the picture of primness and propriety, but her green eyes could blaze with anger - or sparkle with humor.

Scott was the picture of lazy charm and happy indifference to what others thought was right and wrong.

They were enemies, then friends. Then the sweet innocence of a child opened their eyes and their hearts - and they were reborn in each other's arms by the soft, wondrous gift of love.

Wonderful tenderness and promise found in relationships. Narrated exquisitely. Wonderful works can be easily ruined when poorly narrated. However, when enhanced by masterful narration are made completely perfect !

Can’t believe how this story held my interest…all 17 hours of it…leaving me wanting more! What a talent…what a gem, what an amazing writer, so perfect! These characters will live with me for eternity, they’re so real. How I love them and how I will miss them. Wish I could listen and learn more about them. The best yet from Ms. LaVyrle Spencer…and brilliantly performed too by Emily Sutton-Smith. Absolutely adore and recommend this beautiful love story, it doesn’t disappoint and the ending will leave you a little breathless!

Amazingly romantic—one of my favorites yet!

I read the book when it first came and have read it a number of times over the years. It was disappointing to discover that Audibles only had an abridged version.

I was thrilled to discover it is finally out in full-length version.

A great story and a joy to listen to.

One of my favorite stories of all time

This is a great book, the third I’ve read now from LaVyrle Spencer. H/h both well developed, likable characters are living with loneliness and feelings of isolation when they first meet in Kansas.. Time frame follows the civil war and southerner Scott Gandy is a (dissolute) Rhett Butler reincarnate: beautifully flawed, honorable and protective of those in his care. Agatha at 35, is alone in the world; so much to give and no one to give it to. The author brings these two deserving characters together- it’s detailed, smart storytelling that will leave you feeling good. Loved it.

From loneliness to love
