Acerca de esta escucha
Laura was raised to hide who she was. She'd been told repeatedly to never reveal her Cherokee heritage or the fact that she'd been attacked by her own father. And no one should ever know she had the second sight, or they might think she was crazy or possessed.
Somehow, Laura built a life on her own, married a good man who adored her, and had children, all while managing to keep her secrets. She was determined to raise her children in a home filled with love and support, rather than in an atmosphere of fear and pain like the one she'd known. Laura's husband shared her ideals, but had demons and fears of his own from his experiences in World War I.
Together they worked hard, but their best intentions were repeatedly beaten down by the realities of life in the Great Depression.
This audiobook is historical fiction, but was inspired by a real woman of tremendous courage and determination, the author's maternal grandmother. It's Sharon S. Darrow's way of honoring her and all of the other ordinary women throughout history who overcame incredible challenges.

Laura was born in Indian Territory in 1903. Half Cherokee, she was taught that her heritage was shameful by a vicious, abusive father. A father who not only abused her and her siblings, but made her believe that she was at fault. She was extremely intuitive during a time when such a gift was considered proof of the devil's work, and told that if people found out, many of them would consider her crazy or possessed.

Ruth Wariner was the 39th of her father's 42 children. Growing up on a farm in rural Mexico, where authorities turned a blind eye to the practices of her community, Ruth lives in a ramshackle house without indoor plumbing or electricity. At church, preachers teach that God will punish the wicked by destroying the world and that women can ascend to heaven only by entering into polygamous marriages and giving birth to as many children as possible.

Number-one best-selling author Leslie Gould delivers a new Amish romance series. When Amish farmer Pete Treger moves to Paradise Township, Pennsylvania, seeking a better life, he meets sisters Cate and Betsy Miller. Both are beautiful, but older sister Cate is known more for her sharp tongue and fiery temper than her striking appearance. Betsy, on the other hand, is sweet and flirty - and seems to have attracted most of the bachelors in Lancaster County! However, the sisters' wealthy father has made one hard and fast rule: Elder sister must marry first, before the younger can even start courting.
