Dramatic, Clean, Inspirational Romance

I enjoyed the story of Honor and Joshua. The trauma that Honor must endure is terrible. First losing her parents and brothers on the way to America, leaving her to care for her young sister. Being pelted in a destructive hail storm. I won't share any more of her traumas for fear of spoilers. Through it all, Honor learned to trust the Lord with everything. Joshua learned this lesson too, to trust the Lord with even the small things.
How Honor gets her quilt is an amazing tale!

I think this would be a good listen for anyone who likes the Revolutionary period or anyone who likes a good clean romance.

The narration seemed a little stiff and slow at first. I upped the speed and it was a bit better.

I absolutely loved this book!!

what a wonderful story of God's sovereignty and the way he works through difficult circumstances. love this sweet story of romance. wholesome and very enjoyable. sometimes I did not prefer the main characters voice but it grew on me. well worth my time

Sweet colonial romance

It sounds better at a slightly slower speed. It has a bit of suspense, but very inspirational.

Makes you wonder about the history

This is absolutely a wonderful storyline that keeps you so interested that you immerse yourself in the characters lives you soon get into it. A wonderfull novel. What an adventure.

Interesting historical romance

Enjoyed the historical story but the narrator's voice was annoying!
The voice was over dramatic and difficult to listen to. The story would have been better told by a better narrator.
