A little too distressing

What a struggle!

The end when the wicked man dies.

What about Linda Stephens’s performance did you like?

Not the best narration in my opinion

Any additional comments?

This book was difficult for me because of the wickedness of the lead character and his abuse of everyone around him. I read or listen to books to find peace, hope, encouragement - this book was depressing to me. Reality is reality but I want a little reality with lots of happy overcoming. The best part of the book was the very brief ending to such a horrible trial. I was glad for the scriptural encouragement to prayerfully endure even people like Bradley Houston. I almost didn't listen to the book because I was not interested in someone learning to deal with an unloving abusive husband. I am hoping book two and three will be more like the other Tracie Peterson books I have read.

Wonderful

A wonderful start to a new series. The narrator was excellent on to the next

learning history and perspectives

I enjoyed how the history of our nation shaped the characters, how they interacted with their current events, and how it changed our strengthened their perspectives. Excellent depth of character development and research were displayed. Interesting parallelism was given between slavery and indentured servanthood.

Loved this book!

Such a great story and Linda Stephens did a wonderful job reading.

A Great Story!!!

Would you listen to Lights of Lowell again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to this audiobook again. truly enjoyed this book. It takes place during slavery. The characters are realistically portrayed and the historical events vividly depicted. I am a fan of Tracie Peterson and Judith Miller. Their work is so inspirational.

What other book might you compare Lights of Lowell to and why?

Lynn Austin has a book, Light Unto My Path which is similar during the same time period.

Which character – as performed by Linda Stephens – was your favorite?

I love the Irish brogue of the characters: Kira and Rogan, also Mammy.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I really reacted negatively towards Bradley and at first, Malcolm

Interesting twists and turns

Lights of Lowell #1 in series. Interesting book, not your average mail order bride type. Betrothed to a man she doesn't know because a business deal. In fact no one really knows Bradley Houston.
