Mouth noises

You can hear the readers lips smack as she speaks 🤢🤮. If you are sensitive to such things like I am, it is a nauseating experience. The only reason I still listen to this is because I love the book.

hard to follow

Ok so I am ADHD but I found this so hard to follow that after ch 3 I had to go back to the beginning and start over because I had no clue what was going on. there are too many characters to remember and my ADD brain can't take it.

Loved it!

a great book ran by a great narrator! I will definitely be listening to this one again!

very good listen<br />

I loved this book .it just goes to prove pioneer women were just as brave as the men.

Loved the strong determined women !

It was refreshing to read a book where women wanted to be strong yet feminine. That were willing to do what was needed but held out hope for a man someday . They went after joy on their own without wasting away waiting for a man to complete them. Good read!

Great characters, great story!

This story is encouraging and enlightening as we glimpse what life was like for widows after the Civil War. Ruth, Ella, Sally, Caroline and Hetty were intelligent and brave and focused on learning to survive.

Very Entertaining

I really enjoyed this one. If you enjoy Cathy Marie Hake stories, you will really enjoy "Sixteen Brides." Ms. Whitson's and Ms. Hake's writing styles are very similar. A little fun, a little suspense, and a warm ending.

This is my first novel by this author. I found it by looking for books narrated by Ruth Ann Phimister because I like her reading style.

Didn't want it to end.

Great story that I didn't want to end. I wish there was a sequel.
Narrator did a great job too.

Soooo GOOD!!!!!

Truly wonderful, lots going on, praying with them, stepping into each ladies body, mind and soul,
Breathtaking quite often, crying, laughing. It had everything!

Good Listen

Narrator was excellent. Story line good, however predictable in places. Glad I found this author. I'm enjoying her books.
