The Seeds of Change

Leah's Garden, Book 1

De: Lauraine Snelling

Narrado por: Christina Moore

Larkspur Nielsen is ready for a change. Her parents have passed on, and her older brother is successfully running the family business. She bristles at the small-mindedness that permeates life in her small Ohio community, and she sees little chance of a satisfying future there. She has a little money saved, and after turning the tables on a crooked gambler who had fleeced several locals, including her younger brother, she can stake a new start for herself and her three sisters.

As the gambler's threats of revenge echo in her ears, she and her sisters head to Independence, Missouri, to join a wagon train bound for Oregon. Knowing that four women traveling together will draw unwanted attention, Larkspur dons a disguise, passing herself off as "Clark" Nielsen, accompanying his three sisters. But maintaining the ruse is more difficult than Larkspur imagined, as is protecting her headstrong, starry-eyed sisters from difficult circumstances and eligible young men. Will reaching their goal prove too much for them?

I love all in this story

I have listened to this series more than once. Never disappointed in the presentation and enjoyed the way God was involved withe their every day life.

wonderful!

I don't usually take the time to review, but the storyline and characters were SO good and the narration was amazing! you could tell the difference between each. characters personalilty and the acting out of each one was just the best! if you are someone who struggles with bad narration this series is definitely for you! I will be completing all books in this series as well as following the narrator. 10/10 cannot recommend enough!

Enjoyable

I love historical fiction. I know life was much harder for so many other that chose to pioneer, but it’s okay with me to dial down the darkness a bit. I’ll definitely continue to book 2.

As usual, Lauraine delivers a high-quality book.

As always, Lauraine delivers a great story. A trouble making younger brother forces a family to make tough decision about how to keep themselves safe. Set between Ohio and Nebraska, the woman of the family face obstacles that means never would have dreamed of.

Outstanding Plot

I like that Lark’s character adapted to survive and to help her sisters. All the characters were amazing. You must read it to experience your own joy in reading this book.

Very nice faith based story!

I love faith based audio books. This one had tragedy and triumph. The characters were strong women yet soft and tender. Enjoy!

Best narrator ever!!

Excellent story and superb narration! My favorite book since the Red River original series by Lorraine.

Not too mushy

I liked the story line, the characters, and the drama. I liked the villains but must have missed what happened to them. I kept thinking they would pop up somewhere unexpectedly.

Outstanding in every way that matters!

As a believer in Christ this was a lovely and poignant story in how Christians can live and pray and depend on a loving God for guidance in their lives! I loved the hymns (period appropriate) lyrics were interwoven along with references to the Bible when they related to the characters in the story. I love historical novels and this is a lovely one! Thank you Lauraine Snelling❣️

Sweet story

I enjoyed listening to this sweet story about young homesteaders in the Midwest. Twist and turns and Gods presence along the way.
