In 1844, Missouri belle Julia Dent met dazzling horseman Lieutenant Ulysses S Grant. Four years passed before their parents permitted them to wed, and the groom's abolitionist family refused to attend the ceremony. Since childhood, Julia owned as a slave another Julia, known as Jule. Jule guarded her mistress' closely held twin secrets: She had perilously poor vision but was gifted with prophetic sight. So it was that Jule became Julia's eyes to the world.

slight disappointment

I liked it, but toward the end, it started falling apart. I was very disappointed in the ending. There was no resolution between Julia and Jule

Narration or Recording?
Revisado: 08-08-15
Would you listen to An Unexpected Love again? Why?
Probably not, but that is ONLY because I have so many, many other books I want to get through before I die. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book, and laughed out loud several times.
What was one of the most memorable moments of An Unexpected Love?
When Sophie realized what "love" really is.
What does Linda Stephens bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Linda's narration was wonderful, as I was able to recognize voices of characters before they were identified. Although, I started realizing about half way through "Part 1" that the "s" sound was dropped off at the end of sentences, if the word should have ended with and "s" sound. It doesn't occur with in a sentence, though, so I wonder if it was the recording? It "distracted" me for the rest of the book, as I found myself "finishing" those words in my mind, but I still enjoyed her deliverance.

Narrator too young.
Revisado: 08-18-13
What would have made The Journey better?
An older narrator.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I "thought" it was going to be a good Amish love story.The narrator removed my interest in it.
What didn’t you like about Jaimee Draper’s performance?
Jaimee made ALL of the characters sound like "teens with an attitude".
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Journey?
I didn't get far enough into it to be able to make that decision.

Walker & Daughter is Georgia Walker's little yarn shop, tucked into a quiet storefront on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The Friday Night Knitting Club is the ad hoc creation of some of Georgia's regulars, who stroll into the shop looking for tips on knitting and end up finding much, much more. Once a week, they gather to work on their latest projects and to chat - and occasionally clash - over their stories of love, life, and everything in between.

Couldn't "get into" it.
Revisado: 08-18-13
What disappointed you about The Friday Night Knitting Club?
The beginning was so "dragged out" that I couldn't finish the book.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Don't know at this time.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment
Any additional comments?
When I came to a stopping place, I didn't feel an "urgency" to go back to it. It couldn't hold my interest.
