Reason to Believe

Can their marriage survive the ultimate betrayal?

Young and passionately in love, Clara and Ben Pipestone came from vastly different worlds. She was a college student, studying the indigenous people of the Great Plains. He fixed cars in the winter and followed the amateur Indian rodeo circuit all summer. Ignoring those who doomed their relationship to failure, they married, settled into their life in Bismarck, North Dakota, and had a beautiful daughter, Anna.

But now, thirteen years later, Ben's alcoholism blurs his judgment and lands him in the arms of another woman. The betrayal has torn their marriage apart, and their daughter is paying the price.

Shoplifting, drinking, and running with a bad crowd, Anna is out of control. Determined to save their troubled teenage daughter, Clara and Ben take Anna and join a two week trek on horseback across an unforgiving winter terrain, a journey across sacred land in remembrance of Ben's Lakota ancestors.

Can their journey bring them a better understanding of the past and each other? Can it heal their broken trust and unite them as a family?

Love the story, but yikes the misread words!

Excellent story, plot, and characters/backstory.
Good voice of narrator, but too many misread words and mispronunciations to be fully A-OK as listening pleasure.

Love the book, don't like the narrator

I read the book several times before listening to the audiobook. I used to love it - but the narrator is giving Ben and his father voices that are driving me crazy! Why do they speak so slowly? You want us to think they are morons? Or do you think Ben sounds more sexy as soon as he drawls like that? Such a shame - the book really deserved better, because it's a wonderful story... My advice: Don't listen to it, read it!!!
