Resumen del Editor

Born in 1891 in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, Ida Williams tells her compelling but true story of family events that turned her very early, loving childhood into one of disbelief, heartache, and horror. Because it was extremely difficult to verbalize the events to her own children years later, her adult family knew very little of the details until 30 years after her passing in 1967. That is when her granddaughter discovered her writings and promised to tell the story of what she endured.

Waste of time

It’s read by a computer and the quality of that performance is the best thing about the book. Has some emotion in the read but pauses and sentence ends are not natural. Neither are two word units. Does not pass the mini Turing test

The content just out and out sucks. Too much detail in areas it doesn’t belong and too little where it is needed. The only two pluses on the content is 1. It is a very short book so the agony didn’t last long and2. It was one of the audible free books so I didn’t waste my money on it. Wouldn’t it be great if some decent titles appear in the free ( oh excuse me, included) content. This is supposed to be a book written by the granddaughter from notes found. And the book try’s to make it look like that is so by having a different age perspective in the tone of the writing. Unfortunately they blew it because just how many notes do you think the fetus or new born or toddler left. And how did she get detailed notes on what the mother did without any kids around.
What I think this is is someone’s attempt to create a story from an AI. Regardless it sucks
Now let’s go to the storyline. Is this family just plain stupid and naive at the same time. We are talking about people from the mid to late 19th century. Many of the characters are old enough to go into apprenticeships but they act like millennials.
