This book features the fourth of the four horsewomen, Stella, the one with the gray hair. She meets Teddy, the younger brother of Alex from the Parish Orphans series. I loved how the two series interconnected. Teddy is an artist and he admires Stella for who she is. It’s a lovely story, beautifully narrated. Highly recommended!

I love the book but not the narrator

Revisado: 08-20-24

The narrator did not do justice to this book at all. The story is great though!

Refreshingly different Victorian romance

Revisado: 01-29-23

Mimi Matthews always writes wonderful, clean Victorian romances. This one is no exception. The narrator is excellent, but his inflection at the end of every sentence bothers me. I got used to it though. The story is wonderful!

This book drove me crazy

Revisado: 11-25-17

I don't like to give negative reviews, but I'm so frustrated that I wasted a credit on this book that I can't help it. The narrator is annoying. I didn't listen to a sample before I bought the book since I love all things orphan train....big mistake. I made it 11 chapters into the book and there is a woman that goes west on a train through the children's aide society, but she's 19 and going for a job. The story is really a romance and an irritating one at that. I hate it when authors are always telling me how the character feels instead of showing me. And I hate the romance formula where someone is hiding how they really feel to simply move the story along. I didn't finish the book and don't care how it ends. I'm sorry for being so negative. I can say that it seems like the author did a good job of researching and found an interesting story I didn't know about (that the children's aide society helped place female workers out west) and the story line would have been good if the length of the book was cut in half and the characters were more fully developed than described.

Not my favorite, but still good

Revisado: 07-12-16

This isn't my favorite DE Stevenson book, though I still like it. It's too long and I had trouble keeping the characters straight (and I think the narrator did as well). It's an important story to read in regards to many of the characters who live in Ryddleton though. Overall, good enough but long.

Good material, but wish it was appropriate for all ages

Revisado: 07-06-16

I learned a lot of useful lessons from this book and think it would have been a great book to have my 12 and 14 year old daughters listen to, however sex is mentioned and discussed so many times that it just doesn't feel appropriate. I get that men (and women) may lack confidence in that arena, but I'd have preferred that to be treated as a separate book or at least a separate chapter, rather than sprinkled throughout the book. The content of the book is good, though the author repeats himself a lot. Maybe the repetition was necessary to really drive his points home, or maybe it was to get to a certain word count. I can't tell. Either way, I learned a lot from this book about how to act with confidence before I feel confident, and how this is different from "fake it till you make it" since you embrace fear and anxiety rather than pretending you don't feel them. I plan to listen to his book on weight loss as well because I can see how the principles learned in this book would be helpful in the weight loss arena also.

Would you listen to Father and I Were Ranchers again? Why?

I would listen to this book again, but first I'd like to finish the series.

The trick riding competition.

Have you listened to any of Cameron Beierle’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

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

We cried! But we laughed too.
