Historical characters reach across time to tell poignant stories about their lives in the play Three Strong Western Women. A Mormon handcart pioneer, a Lutheran missionary, and an Apache warrior woman each describe a life of struggle through tragedy. Emma Lee was the 17th plural wife of John D. Lee, who was executed for his role in the massacre of settlers in a wagon train at Mountain Meadows in Utah. She did many heroic things during her turbulent life, including saving lives in a tragically ill-timed caravan and running the famous Lee’s Ferry.

I listened with rapt attention to these three stories, When you hear these characters describe what they went through and how they endured and overcame their dangers and hardships you will have a newfound respect for your great grandmother. Each character has her own unique voice and story to tell, This book creates an innovative use of the Audible book format by having each strong woman tell her own story. The supporting factual part of the book is very interesting. It adds context and a surprising perspective. I repeatedly found myself saying," I had NO idea!" This is a enjoyable listen and well worth the investment.

The Energy Caper, or Nixon in the Sky with Diamonds takes you on a merry romp with a band of twenty-something idealists looking for love and hoping to change the world in an alternate universe in which the Kennedys were not assassinated and the Vietnam War ended before it began. Joining in the fun are President Richard Nixon and Dr. Timothy Leary, the escaped convict Nixon calls "the most dangerous man in the world" for turning America's youth into no-good hippies.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The Energy Caper is an energetic alternative history of the United States during the Kennedy and Nixon eras which answers the question, "What would have happened had JFK survived the assassination?" The world would have been a happier place and the author does a great job reflecting that joy in his work.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite character is Art McGill, the hero of the novel. It's always fun when a normal guy accomplishes marvelous things. I identified with him which made it entertaining to follow the plot twists and turns. For anyone who lived through the sixties and seventies this is what might have been, what we all wished it could have been.
What about William Scott Morrison’s performance did you like?
The author performs his own work with his own unique and very personal style. He is very energetic and engaging. This is a good listen especially if you want to stay awake. It's great for those long drives.
If you could rename The Energy Caper, or Nixon in the Sky with Diamonds, what would you call it?
This is a very entertaining novel delivered in a warm and engaging style. I'm very glad I found it and took the opportunity to give it a listen.
