Delightful

A fantastic novel telling of the trials and tribulations of life in the early days

THE RIVER GIRLS SONG

This is a good storyline and it's easy to follow. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review. That has no influence on my review. I thought it was a good story and narrated good. If you like this genre I think you'll like this.

A fantastic story woven into the Texas countryside

What did you love best about The River Girl's Song?

The characters and their relationships are stellar. The story line is realistic and very satisfying. I just finished with a huge smile on my face, and I'm going straight to the next book!

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene was when disaster struck at a lumber mill. I had already decided in my mind what would happen, but I was totally wrong. The unexpected twist made the book that much better!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Don't mess with Texas. It'll mess you right back.

A tender story

This is not my usual genre, but I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The hardship was realistic, the family ties heart warming, and the friendship that grew into love was at the heart of it all. I searched for more stories of these lovely characters and will happily continue to invest in their story.
The narrator did a great job with her intonation, voice variations, and interpretation of the story. Her voice was pleasant to listen to and allowed the listener to be swept away by her telling of the tale.
