Acerca de esta escucha
A story of honesty and humor for anyone who has ever lived and loved from New York Times best-selling author LaVyrle Spencer.
Agatha was the picture of primness and propriety, but her green eyes could blaze with anger - or sparkle with humor.
Scott was the picture of lazy charm and happy indifference to what others thought was right and wrong.
They were enemies, then friends. Then the sweet innocence of a child opened their eyes and their hearts - and they were reborn in each other's arms by the soft, wondrous gift of love.

In town, they called her "Crazy Widow Dinsmore". But Elly was no stranger to their ridicule - she had been an outsider all her life, growing up in a boarded-up old house under the strict eye of her eccentric grandparents. Now she was all alone, with two little boys to raise, and a third child on the way. Will Parker drifted into Whitney, Georgia, one lazy afternoon in the summer, hoping to put his lonely past behind him. He yearned for the tenderness he had never known, the home he'd never had. All he needed was for someone to give him a chance.

Five long years ago, Laura Dalton stood on the bleak Nantucket shore waiting for her beloved husband Rye to return—until the day she learned his ship was lost at sea. Now, Laura's lonely heart has found solace in Dan, Rye's closest friend. Dan has been a beacon of light in her time of darkness, becoming a father to the child that Rye never knew and giving her a reason to live again. But who could foretell that a wind-roughened sailor with sun-bleached hair would come back into their lives? That Laura's heart could betray her soul? That Rye would come home again . . .

It is 1916, and Roberta Jewett is surprised to find that her hometown of Camden, Maine, considers a divorced woman little more than a prostitute. Condemned by her mother and scorned by neighbors, she nonetheless perseveres in her struggle to forge a good life for her girls and herself. Embittered by her painful marriage to an unfaithful husband, she has no intention of being any man's victim again. So Roberta is taken aback to find the widowed carpenter Gabriel Farley has somehow found his way into her heart.

Innocent and unsure, Theresa Brubaker has lived much of her 25 years trapped in a body she loathed. Never becoming used to the unwanted attention from the opposite sex, her precious beauty was treasured by everyone but herself—that is, until an extraordinary man opens her heart to the wonderful possibilities of love. Sensitive and caring, Brian Scanlon seeks to unleash the butterfly wrapped in Theresa's cocoon of inhibitions. But trust for Theresa comes haltingly, and a bold, courageous decision she makes nearly destroys the promise of their love.

Linnea Bradenborg expects to find culture and excitement in Alamo, North Dakota, where she's recently been hired as the new schoolteacher.

Brandenborg is a woman and not the man he was expecting.

In town, they called her "Crazy Widow Dinsmore". But Elly was no stranger to their ridicule - she had been an outsider all her life, growing up in a boarded-up old house under the strict eye of her eccentric grandparents. Now she was all alone, with two little boys to raise, and a third child on the way. Will Parker drifted into Whitney, Georgia, one lazy afternoon in the summer, hoping to put his lonely past behind him. He yearned for the tenderness he had never known, the home he'd never had. All he needed was for someone to give him a chance.

Wonderful tenderness and promise found in relationships. Narrated exquisitely. Wonderful works can be easily ruined when poorly narrated. However, when enhanced by masterful narration are made completely perfect !

Amazingly romantic—one of my favorites yet!
Can’t believe how this story held my interest…all 17 hours of it…leaving me wanting more! What a talent…what a gem, what an amazing writer, so perfect! These characters will live with me for eternity, they’re so real. How I love them and how I will miss them. Wish I could listen and learn more about them. The best yet from Ms. LaVyrle Spencer…and brilliantly performed too by Emily Sutton-Smith. Absolutely adore and recommend this beautiful love story, it doesn’t disappoint and the ending will leave you a little breathless!

One of my favorite stories of all time
I read the book when it first came and have read it a number of times over the years. It was disappointing to discover that Audibles only had an abridged version.
I was thrilled to discover it is finally out in full-length version.
A great story and a joy to listen to.

From loneliness to love
This is a great book, the third I’ve read now from LaVyrle Spencer. H/h both well developed, likable characters are living with loneliness and feelings of isolation when they first meet in Kansas.. Time frame follows the civil war and southerner Scott Gandy is a (dissolute) Rhett Butler reincarnate: beautifully flawed, honorable and protective of those in his care. Agatha at 35, is alone in the world; so much to give and no one to give it to. The author brings these two deserving characters together- it’s detailed, smart storytelling that will leave you feeling good. Loved it.
