The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist - an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.

Good Listen, really enjoyed this one!
If you could sum up The Measure of a Lady in three words, what would they be?
Interesting, entertaining, & enjoyable
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Measure of a Lady?
too many to pick just one!
What about Julia Gibson’s performance did you like?
Yes, she was very good brings out the characters very well
Who was the most memorable character of The Measure of a Lady and why?
I liked the little boy, he doesn't come in until toward the end, can't remember exactly where but he was fun! Now in trying I cannot remember his name but he was a gem, when you first hear from him you will know who I"m speaking of :)
Any additional comments?
So happy I've discovered this author! I've not listened to anything yet that wasn't enjoyable, entertaining and never lost interest in the story line. I'm really enjoying her writings!

It’s good but…
I kept going back and forth while listening debating if I liked the book or couldn’t stand it. I love reading historical fiction and I don’t mind some religious things here and there. I’ve read more religion focused stories than this one but this one was harder to get through at times than those other stories. Mainly because the main character is very difficult to like, she’s too sanctimonious and stuck up. I know that’s the point but I kept waiting for her to learn a life lesson about how she’s too stuck up in her own holier than though ideals, I’m now towards the end and she still hasn’t figured that out yet. I feel like the author could have still gotten her religious messages across but with a more compelling story if she had focused more energy on the main character’s arc than her being upset that the guy she loved owned a gambling den. Not to mention she strings along another man who loves her throughout the book which doesn’t help with the readers dislike of her. With the way the ending is shaping up I’m expecting to be disappointed with the story.

Johnnie kept me listening
Would you listen to The Measure of a Lady again? Why?
Down the road i would but not any time soon. Rachel was extremely preachy during this book. Half the time i wanted to argue with her. Her reasons for doing things just didn't move me and pushed me away. But i did like johnnie. He was so down to earth and i liked seeing how he changed. He had such depth to him and his story about his ex-wife really touched my heart. He was a good man.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Measure of a Lady?
The men kept putting different outfits on johnnie's nude statue. That made me laugh. I loved that they covered it just in suspenders one day because they weren't concerned with what body parts to cover.
Have you listened to any of Julia Gibson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but i did enjoy listening to her. Even if i was working on something else, i wasn't able to tune her out. I couldn't help but listen. She did well with all the different voices, even the mens.
Any additional comments?
The story itself was very good. There was tension, learning, sacrific and selfishness. It would have been better if rachel would have started to learn throughout the book instead of just the end.

Disappointed
I thought both leading characters to be significantly lacking depth and maturity that didn’t line up with what they said. I understand that the point was for them to grow, but when the growth occurred it felt too simplistic in their conclusions for such a dramatic shift without adequate reasoning or explanation as to why they didn’t see things before. There were holes in their characters that never got resolved or settled in a satisfactory way. This a distaste for the characters, plot line and overall story in my mouth. Disappointing after having enjoyed some of her other writings.
