Quite an emotional and yet redeeming story!

Revisado: 11-09-23

I loved the story line in the way the characters and story were so “could he 100% true - sad and amazingly beautiful true. The narrator was just so perfect and made it such a delight to listen to. The epilogue is a necessity to the story and truly completes one’s wandering thoughts. And- most redeeming is the thought that the little and big kindnesses we share may truly change someone’s life! Being honest and caring beyond your own needs is a blessing to others and right back at you - as the blessing of faith is also. I liked how the author wove in faith as being so integral and real and a true fall back to action and comfort for now and forever - yet how life tied to it is also a challenge and not the easy road at all. Please do listen to this story as you’ll feel like you’re living in it at every chapter! Obviously Brandon was an amazingly well developed character but Nanna and Poppy, Esther and AuntieGina were as well. The antagonist characters were also well developed enough to drive home - yep, some people are like that and yet - we don’t always blow up at them, but trust that it’s all going to “come out clean on wash day!”

A must listen for so many reasons!!

Revisado: 09-27-23

If this isn’t an inspiring, reflective, lovely read I don’t know what is! It is, perhaps both slightly predictable but yet also contains unbelievable twists and turns and you simply can’t hardly put it down! (Or stop the car and get to work as one more minute is always needed!) Having both stories in one audio book is a special delight! Absolutely loved the stories, good book club discussion material, and the audio narration is absolutely perfect and easy to listen to! I often up from 1x to 1.5x for books but couldn’t for this as narration is too delightful and important to visualizing the story!

Schmaltzy yet redeeming

Revisado: 01-02-23

This was a fun Christmas read. It was positive and happy with a fulfilling ending, slightly predictable and yet “hallmarkeque” happy.

Most excellent narration of a most excellent story

Revisado: 09-30-22

This is really a MUST read, all of it, epilogue and how this story came to be! It’s vivid descriptions are truly art and the history both hard to listen to and yet need to be listened to and retold. The strength of the heroes - so many heroes - are inspiring! Thank you to Lisa Wingate and all who narrated as this is art!

Drawn into the story- couldn’t put it down

Revisado: 06-12-21

Felt myself praying for Gods wisdom much more as I listened to the story. Narration was very well done!
Although predictable, there were twists which made it a bit more realistic and applied to life more!

Absolutely a Book for These Times And ..

Revisado: 02-24-21

Absolutely so much to discuss at book club! Loved the character development, there were some unseen turns and surprises, learning about the Dust Bowl history, family dynamics and insights. Great historical fiction. Excellent narration for all characters! She is gifted! And .... do take the time for postlogue and the interview with author and narrator- both are excellent and worth the time. I highly recommend this audible book!

Worth every penny/credit Fully Immersed

Revisado: 08-02-20

The characters truly become alive and bring to
Light many things girls today and in all times
Go and have gone through. The society is eerily too close to some of the dystopia we have the n our world recently - and yet reading it brings to mind important historic lessons, what’s real and what’s superstition and what’s plain wrong. It’s also immensely important in teaching how to bring out your grasp of truth- not with fights and blaring loudness but with gentleness and patience. The narrator has theeee perfect voice and telling and the writer grabs you in at every turn, some you see coming and others blow you out of the water!
