Skirting Tradition

De: Kay Moser

Narrado por: Amy Dietz

Sleepy, tradition-bound Riverford, Texas, is startled when a Czech immigrant sharecropper's daughter, Sarah Novak, announces she wants to be a teacher rather than marry. Granted, it is 1895, and a new century is fast approaching, but nothing has changed in Riverford since the end of the war 30 years ago.

Mrs. Victoria Hodges steps off the train at the Riverford station, and change arrives in a big way! She's a native Texan who ran off to Europe 20 years ago to become an artist. How she managed to hook wealthy local businessman Hayden Hodges is a mystery to the town, but one thing is certain: She's here to stir up things. Why, she wears Paris fashions, speaks French, wants to build a public library, and supports equal rights for women including rights to education!

With this newcomer's help and support, nothing but hard work stands between Sarah and a teaching certificate. Nothing, that is, except Robert Lee Logan, a handsome young banker from Fort Worth with eyes for Sarah.

Wonderful book!

Skirting Tradition by Kay Moser

Of all the books I’ve read so far this year, this is the one I’ll remember. This book had it all. A person you were begging to win. A person you couldn’t stand. A person your heart went out to. And a love story that is destined to fail from the beginning. If you want to drop everything in life and read, or listen to, a story- pick this one. It’ll have you excited to see what happens and dreading the end. Wonderful story and beautifully written. The narrator did a fantastic job as well. A+ book!
