    "Great book"
    Would you listen to The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder again? Why?

    I am a hairdresser and I have to say I loved this book.


    Have you listened to any of Judith Ivey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Judith is by far the best reader i have ever heard.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes it was

    "Engaging story, great narration! A favorite listen"

    I read a couple of other Rebecca Wells books in the past and enjoyed them, but this story -- about a young girl who grows up in the south -- was my favorite. Very engaging. I couldn't stop listening! It was such a fun story -- happy, sad, funny -- I was pulled in right away. I love Judith Ivey as an actress and was very happy with her acting/narration of the story. Overall it was one of my favorites of all the books I've listened to. And I've listened to a lot!

    I definitely recommend this book.

    "Good Summer Read"

    This was my first Rebecca Wells book- I loved it! Narrater, Judith Ivey, brought the characters to life. It is one of those book you don't want to end. I love books about the South.

    "good story, didn't like narrator"

    I kind of wished I read the hard copy instead of listening to it as an audiobook. the story begins with calla lily as a small girl, so the first few hours you have to endure a narrator with a mature woman's voice trying to talk like a little girl. the effect is pretty annoying.

    it gets better after calla becomes a teenager.

    the story is good though, which is why I gave it 3 stars. I encourage people to listen to a sample before they buy!

    "Rebecca Wells has done it again!!!"

    I hated for this book to end....I enjoyed it so much! I laughed, I cried and most of all, I identified with so many characters. Realistic, spot on and well written, this book rings true to my Southern Belle ears! Don't miss this one!
