The Governess

De: Kristen McKendry

Narrado por: Nancy Peterson

Independent young Kate Porter envisions a future far greater than the middle-class existence she's always lived, and her work as a governess is simply a means to an end. The glittering world of a society wife calls, and her new position as a private tutor for the children of Mr. Alonzo Colaco is a step in the right direction. She merrily imagines the grand house awaiting her - but when her new employer meets her at the train station driving a gaily-painted gypsy wagon, Kate suspects her new job as a children's tutor will not be all she dreamed.

Instead of the mansion she anticipated, Kate finds herself living in the woods in a refitted train car and teaching the charming children of Alonzo, a tinker by trade. After trying in vain to secure another job, Kate is left with little choice. She must simply bide her time until a better position presents itself. Before long, however, she finds herself abandoning her petticoats and preconceptions in favor of the joys of a simple life - and the possibility of true love. But when opportunity knocks, will Kate really be ready to walk away from all she's come to care for to pursue her high-society dreams?

Great story. Complete Book

Heartwarming story. Thankfully no fault language or sexual content. Highly recommend. The performance was well done.

Wonderful story with a twist

This story was very different than most. The development of the characters was well done. It is nice to be hoping for a certain ending and kept me listening. Clean and meaningful

Slow building story

At times the slow pace was annoying but also appreciate the 3 dimensional characters. Beautiful and brilliant clean read. Thank you.

Amazing, well written story. My fav Audible book.

Buy this book, you will love. It is romantic and has a wholesome story line. I have listened to this book over and over. I so love it. I wish the writer would do a sequel. I wish more people would give this book a chance. I don't feel it gets the credit it deserves. I wish we could visit the characters again. I loved the chemistry between Kate and Alonzo.
