"Great book"
I am a hairdresser and I have to say I loved this book.
Judith is by far the best reader i have ever heard.

"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.
"Absolutely Fabulous!"
Just a wonderful story that brought back wonderful childhood memories for me!
The description of everything was Great, made me feel like I was there!
no not yet
Calla & her girlfriends
Wish there was a part 2 to pick-up where this story ended! It needs to continue!

"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.
"Calla Lily Ponder"
This book, was a beautiful story. I enjoyed it tremendously. Hope Rebecca Wells is writing another book.
"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!
"great listen!"
wonderful, light, and engaging story about the life of the main character, calla lily ponder. colorful characters with deep emotions, read well by the narrator.
"The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily"
If you are from the South -you will love this book. It leaves you with a sweet taste of joy in your heart to read of the bitterness and sweetnes of life. It is a laugh and cry book!
