Resumen del Editor

Raised by her guardian and influenced by the mostly male population of Carrie Town Texas, Rebecca benefited from a forward-thinking, unorthodox education not typical for a young woman in the late Nineteenth century. As an adult, she is armed with skills that most would covet, yet she lives in a boarding house, works as a waitress and struggles financially. Most single women in the area didn’t stay single long. Most, but not her. The one man she had said yes to was dragging his feet. The townspeople all agree she is in need of a husband. Even the young girls in her Sunday School Class have taken action and writing an ad for the paper. Wanted: Husband for Rebecca Mueller. **Must be handsome, nice, like children, and live within walking distance of Carrie Town School. Will her circumstances change and allow her to hold out for true love?

Beautiful story, horrible narration

I only made it through because it was such a good story. This audio narration is ruining books completely. There’s no distinction between characters, words are mispronounced due to spelling, ex: agape. Instead of uh-gaw-pay it was pronounced a-gape. There are more, trust me. The inflection is completely off, so is the emotion. An example of this is “I don’t know what you mean” spoken as the soft, personal, serious conversation it should have been, being said in the tone of “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” at a surprise party. It really makes listening to the book a chore and exhausting. So far, every audio narration I’ve sat through is doing a horrible disservice to the authors.
