About this listen
Elsie Hathaway has it all: beauty, brains, and a strong work ethic. Taken in by her aunt's loving family after her mother's death, Elsie has had every advantage and earned every honor her school bestows. Her older brothers and her father remained in the family home and over the years their visits to each other were sporadic. But one day she drops by unannounced and discovers that this is the place where she is needed most.
The house is a mess, the men are not eating well and her brothers work at dead-end jobs with no plans for the future. While Elsie tirelessly attempts to set things to right, the listener gets a fascinating glimpse into life in the 1920s: how people decorated their homes; the kinds of food they prepared; what was required to get into college; the social hierarchies of the time.
Elsie's aunt feels she is ruining her life by moving back to a poorer area. But her selfless act has its own rewards ...

Immediately following the success of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott sat down to write An-Old Fashioned Girl, expanding on the subject of rich versus poor that she explored in her first novel. It’s a story of a country mouse and a city mouse: 14-year-old Polly Milton travels to Boston for a stay with her friend Fanny Shaw. The wealthy Shaws’ way of life is foreign to Polly who tries to adapt but is quickly labeled “old-fashioned”. Fanny and her friends dress and behave as their elders do, flirting with boys and gossiping.

At the age of eighteen, Lucy Gayheart heads for Chicago to study music. She is beautiful and impressionable and ardent, and these qualities attract the attention of Clement Sebastian, an aging but charismatic singer who exercises all the tragic, sinister fascination of a man who has renounced life only to turn back to seize it one last time. Out of their doomed love affair—and Lucy's fatal estrangement from her origins—Willa Cather creates a novel that is as achingly lovely as a Schubert sonata.

Julie would remember her happy days at Aunt Cordelia’s forever. Running through the spacious rooms, singing on rainy nights in front of the blazing fireplace. There were rides in the woods on Peter the Great, the races with Danny Trevort. Maybe best of all were the precious moments alone in her room at night, gazing at the sea of stars. But there was sadness too - the painful jealousy Julie felt after her sister got married, the tragic death of a schoolmate, and the bitter disappointment of her first love. Sometimes it all seemed like too much to handle.

The Folded Leaf is the serenely observed yet deeply moving story of two boys finding one another in the Midwest of the 1920s, when childhood lasted longer than it does today and even adults were more innocent of what life could bring.

Published in 1922, Fitzgerald's second novel chronicles the relationship of Anthony Patch, Harvard-educated, aspiring aesthete, and his beautiful wife, Gloria, as they await to inherit his grandfather's fortune. A devastating satire of the nouveaux rich and New York's nightlife, of reckless ambition and squandered talent, it is also a shattering portrait of a marriage fueled by alcohol and wasted by wealth. The Beautiful and Damned, Fitzgerald wrote to Zelda in 1930, "was all true."

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 15
A misleading want ad induces lovely and innocent Rachel Rainsford to board a train to find work in another state. She doesn't know that she speeds toward darkest disaster because the man who "hired" her is actually intending to sell her to another man for his pleasure. A lucky encounter brought Chan Prescott to intervene—and it was well that he did.

Delightful
I love Grace Livingston Hill and loved listening to this book on Audible. The narrator was very good at distinguishing the different characters and it was throughly enjoyable.

Another Great Grace Livingston Hill Book Brought to Life
Anne Hancock brings life to this inspiring story from the 1920’s. Grace Livingston Hill wrote about the challenges a young woman faces as she returns to her father’s home after living a carefree life with relatives.

Delightful!
This was a wonderful and sweet history lesson and peak into the mid-twenties; the mid 1920’s. I LOVE the fur blankets to keep his passengers warm, in his car.

Beautiful Story!
Anne Hancock once again does a superb job of narrating an Grace Livingston Hill book. I love the sacrifices Elsie joyfully made for her family and how they, especially the brothers, showed their appreciation for her sacrifices.
