Excellent Historical Fixtion

Left feeling sorry for her ex husband

Revisado: 04-28-23

The author has a beautiful, engaging writing style but by the time it was over I was so tired of the whining I felt sorry for her ex-husband! Too many uses of the f word. Political statements were completely unnecessary and distracted from the story. I'm sure some of it may help people who are going through divorce and abandonment but this is just too much. I purchased it by mistake thinking it was a memoir of the "real" Maggie Smith. I almost returned it when I realized it wasn't and now I wish I had.

Missed opportunity for a good historical fiction

Revisado: 03-02-23

The author missed an opportunity for a good historical fiction. The present day accounts were just too syrupy and the narrator for the main character was so whiny -- as is the main character. Totally unenjoyable. Wasted credit. I hope I can find a better book on this tragedy as it is very interesting, just ruined by the story line this author took.

Disappointing

Revisado: 11-18-18

Very disappointing after reading the book summary. I thought there would be more mystery. I kept waiting for it to get to the point where I couldn’t stop listening, but it never got there.

Slow start

Revisado: 11-09-17

It was chapter 16 before I actually got interested in the characters and story. Sorry I bought more in the series on a 2-for-1 deal before listening. Not a fan.

Well Worth Reading

Revisado: 10-23-17

Hearing the plight of children caught up in a horrible adoption system is difficult, but I feel we owe it to them. Lisa Wingate has managed to create endearing characters in a historically accurate setting that we'd rather not know existed. I tried to patiently listen to the book only on my commutes to appointments, but when it got near the end I couldn't stand not knowing how it ended. While the romance developing between two of the main characters was predictable, at least it only made up a small part of the story. Well worth the read. We do owe it to the children who were caught up in this system to remember their stories.

Very Predictable

Revisado: 10-16-17

So predictable. The minute I readtwo girls were burned in the fire and had been admitted to the hospital I could have skipped the rest.

So Boring

Revisado: 10-16-17

I kept thinking this book would get better ... by chapter 21 it still hasn't. I really can't make myself finish it. Wasted money. It is so boring.

I would have given it "0" if I could

Revisado: 07-09-16

Would you try another book from David C. Taylor and/or Keith Szarabajka?

Horrible language. Couldn't make it through the first chapter. Books should have warnings about constant corse language so we'll be warned before we waste our money.

A major disappointment

Revisado: 01-29-16

I would never guess this was a John Grisham book. A disappointment from beginning to end.
