Such a beautifully heartbreaking story

Revisado: 04-12-25

This story was so beautifully told. My heart broke time and time again and felt fear and hope right along with the characters. There was a point, you’ll know when you get to it, where I wanted to cry out “I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was happening! I am so sorry.” There has never been a fictional book that has made me feel such emotion.
Read this book.

It’s all mid.

Revisado: 02-03-25

The story definitely shows how stupid some women can be. It’s not even just from the manipulation that happened, it’s just pure stupidity. Which the author wrote wonderfully, but it grated on my nerves. The twists and turns got me and surprised me, which I liked, but I feel like it was written by someone who normally writes teen fiction. I couldn’t stand the narrators voices, especially when they were speaking as a man. It took me too long to finish this book because I wasn’t into it or into hearing them. But it’s done! Not the worst book but not great by any means.

This is one of the most enjoyable listens I’ve had in a while. Micheal Cramer is outstanding as always. And Brandon’s writing was so light weight and easy to follow along with. I could picture everything as if I were watching a well done movie. I had to stop myself from listening to this story and get work done. This will go down as one of my all time favorite books. Thank you Brandon.

A beautiful story

Revisado: 05-27-24

This will go down to be one of the best books I have listened to. The story itself is beautifully told. It is rich with emotion and human traits that plague us all. The stories inside the story are even more haunting. This is the first I have ever listened to of Gullah Geechi and I plan to learn more about this culture because of this book.

Mediocre

Revisado: 03-13-24

It’s a mediocre story and the reader has the same exact tone throughout the entire book. If you enjoy stories that are predictable this is the book for you. Otherwise I wouldn’t really recommend it.

Such a wonderful story

This book and this woman’s life has touched my heart. I cannot imagine that a child could live through all that life and still go on. I am glad that she and her daughters have shared this story of survival

Breathtaking

This was my review for my friends:

I just finished listening to a breathtaking story that came straight from the journal of the Catholic nun, Sister Blandina. In her journal she kept track of the on goings of her time on the Santa Fe trail from 1872- 1892. She was a hero who put her faith in God and made waves through the area. In the journal she talks about her travels through Colorado, Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Mexico as well as all the people she met and helped, including Billy the Kid!
I listened to it on audible and it was honestly one of the most relaxing books I have ever listed to and will forever be on the top of my list. You don’t have to be catholic or a history buff to be able to enjoy this book.

Feeds the imagination

I enjoyed listening to this and the first book very much. I don’t remember what lead me to search for MacDonalds books but I am glad I did. It has a sweet magical feeling to it and I was day dreaming about it all day.

Enlightening

Revisado: 02-12-23

For someone who knows very little about history and dictators this was very eye opening and enjoyable. It was easy to listen to and gave a great glimpse into this mindset. I recommend it for a quick overview of socialism.
