Song of My Heart

By: Kim Vogel Sawyer

Narrated by: Laurie Birmingham

Sadie Wagner has always been devoted to her family. So when her stepfather is injured and can't work, she decides to leave home and accept a position as a clerk at the mercantile in Goldtree, Kansas. Goldtree also offers the opportunity to use her God-given singing talent - though the promised opera house is far different from what she imagined. With her family needing every cent she can provide, Sadie will do anything to keep her job.

Thad McKane comes to Goldtree at the request of the town council. The town has been plagued by bootlegging operations, and Thad believes he can find the culprit. After he earns enough money doing sheriff work, he wants to use it to pay for his training to become a minister.

Thad is immediately attracted to the beautiful singer who performs in Asa Baxter's unusual opera house, but when he hears her practicing bawdy tunes, he begins to wonder if she's far less innocent than she seems. And when Sadie appears to be part of the very crimes he's come to investigate, is there any hope the love blossoming between them will survive?

Great book

The author kept the book exciting very good book. I would recommend it to anybody. 

Grace for confessed sins

Different story with some mystery and excitement. I appreciate not having the emphasis on sexual innuendos. I also like a good ending without everyone dying.

Happily Ever After

My favorite kind of read — in a troubled world, a Happily Ever After ending always gets my vote.

Really liked it.

Sweet story that held my interest as well as reflecting my beliefs. I looked forward to going back to it everytime I had to turn it off.

inadequate technical knowledge.

In order to truly enjoy a story it has to be believeable. Elaborate underground rooms in the 1890's would not be feasible. The author talks about liquor, but the only alcohol mentioned is beer and wine, neither of which is liquor. The author also talks about stills used to make the beer and wine but stills refer to the process of "distilling" which is not used in the making of beer or wine. I found that these technical inaccuracies constantly nagged at the credibility of the story.
