A Little House on the Prairie warmth accompanies the incomparable Will Patton as he brings these characters to life. As enjoyable as a peaceful evening on the front porch after a hectic day of busyness.

A wholesome coming of age story set in the early West

As always…. The performance by Will Patton made this book top knotch. The story of the family grew deeper with each chapter. Wonderful story by Holt!

Story flows well to a predictable conclusion. A boy grows into a man. It’s pretty formulaic. As always Mr Patton’s performance is like dark coffee and beignets. It’s worth the money just to listen to his voice.

Great comming of age story

Ms. Holt has a winner with this one! I've not called a book beautiful before, but that word fits this story. It's a beautiful blend of human character study, laugh-out-loud humor, grim life in pre-civil war America, and just a great idea! It's also a good reminder that all western life was not blazing guns, and Indian fighting. Wonderful!

A WONDERFUL SURPRISE

Really enjoyed this book, the characters were great and the story sure was too. Loved that this book was so much more than the description implied.

Will Patton at his best!

Written beautifully and tells a story so real. It’s a story of life, love, and loss. The narration brings such life to the story. A book for all ages.

Amazing all around.

This is a story of a boy. I love stories, things that are told as though they were something that I listened to from my family, and this meets that criteria. This is a good, old fashioned story of a boy's life and growing up in America. It reminds me of Mark Twain in some aspects, as it does not dwell upon the down trodden side of life, but it does not eliminate it either.

If you like simple, southern stories then you will truly enjoy The Water Seeker.
