Evie is stuck at The Inn, managed by the stern and mysterious Mrs. Auberchon, although she's supposed to join a training program at The Sanctuary. That's what she signed up for - never mind that she lied and doesn't know the first thing about animals. Once up on the mountain with staffers, volunteers, and her dog students, Evie takes notes on the new things she’s learning. Alpha. Forgiveness. Play. Rehabilitation.

Underwhelming
Revisado: 12-07-20
There really isn't a plot and there certainly isn't an ending that satisfies. There are bits of wisdom, but overall, this is a disappointment. Use your book credits for something else. :(

When your fairy godmother threatens to enslave you with a curse - when a malevolent piper solves your rat problem but steals your children - when you seek revenge on the prince who turned you into a frog - who can you turn to in your hour of need? The band of scoundrels known far and wide as the Bastard Champions - the swashbuckling trio who travel a world of legend, seeking adventure and righting wrongs - as long as there's enough gold to be earned.

Melodramatic performance is a turn off
Revisado: 06-03-19
The stories themselves are rather fun, but the performances are cringe-worthy. Overacted and melodramatic, the readings are enough of a turn off that I'm not keeping this title in my library. Ugh...

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 68
Dorothy Day (1897-1980) was a prominent Catholic, writer, social activist, and cofounder of a movement dedicated to serving the poorest of the poor. Her life has been revealed through her own writings as well as the work of historians, theologians, and academics. What has been missing until now is a more personal account from the point of view of someone who knew her well.

Well written ~ Difficult to listen to :(
Revisado: 06-06-18
Dorothy Day's life was a fully human, luminous one. She was a gift to the world with flaws, passion, conviction, and intelligence. This account is indeed an intimate portrait and a welcome addition to other books about her life.
It's unfortunate that someone else wasn't selected to read this. Why not Kate Hennessy herself? This particular narrator is thoroughly patronizing in tone and utterly grating on the ear. It seems a disservice to the story. 14 hours of it leaves one with an excellent example of how to NOT read a biography of a near saint.
