Tucker's Way

The Tucker Series, Book 1

De: David Johnson

Narrado por: Laural Merlington

After enduring a childhood of horrific abuse and crushing poverty, Tucker seeks refuge in her rural Tennessee home. The three grandchildren she is raising are her only connection to the outside, and her demeanor is purposefully rough. But her world is turned upside down when a new neighbor, Ella, moves into the old McDaniel place next door.

Ella seeks solace on the same country road after overcoming cancer. Although she is Tucker's peer agewise, she was raised in a world of privilege and opportunity. Still, Ella shares a tragic part of Tucker's experience - she also suffered abuse. Hers was at the hands of her husband, a prominent judge in the community and Tucker's sworn enemy.

When Tucker finds herself at risk of losing custody of her beloved youngest grandchild and worse, the child's mother is murdered, she draws support and strength from her new friendship with Ella. These two women from disparate backgrounds form a fierce bond, and they weather life's storms together with faith, love, and determination.

Loved it.

Characters you care about. Narrator does a good job. You feel like your in the south. Story is very plausible

Audio books don not get any better!

This is the 2and time listening to this book and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. The storyline takes you into their world and the narrator keeps you there!

Laural Merlington is so good. Her voices for each character is recognizable. I will check k out other books she has narrated.

Get this series. it is worth it. Now on to book 2.

AMAZING

in the world we live it's easy to lose faith in stalwart honesty, plain truth wwithout ruffled edges. thank you for reigniting the flame of hope in the goodness and open hearts of people.

Great and touching

This book was well written and worth sharing. The narrator was perfect. Almost like listening to a story from my own grandmother.

Awesome

Brilliant work and reading. Laural makes the reading very real and interesting. I love it

Loved this Book!

Any additional comments?

It's been a while since I've listened to a book I've enjoyed as much as this one. There appears to be four audio books in the series and someone said there's a fifth book out, but not yet in audio form. I laughed, and cried while listening to this book. I was told that a good story will make you think, make you laugh and make you cry. This book did it for me!

Free book = and now I am hooked on series

(I received this book for free thru my Amazon Prime membership)

I am so glad I did. I have purchased the rest in the series.

I fell in love with David Johnson's details of the poor hard-working white American, as my family can relate.

Tucker is such a hard working woman - who we all, in one way or another, can relate too. We protect our loved ones and we "hustle" to feed our families.

Laural Merlington did a great job on the narration as she changed her voices for each character - I appreciate this when it is done in Audiobooks.

I cannot wait to continue listening on to the next four books in this 5 part series.

Fantastic!!!!

What did you love best about Tucker's Way?

I enjoyed that the author presented Tucker as a self-made woman who directed her own life and its outcome. She relied on herself and her own determination.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tucker was my favorite character. Her strength and self-growth in an environment of little knowledge was impressive.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene was when Tucker sent April to to stay with Ella. I think her selflessness not only grew but was captured and described perfectly.

The way of Tucker is beautiful.

Tucker a woman who live life and speak her mind without saying sorry. Tucker have a very difficult childhood. You should read this book.

Loved it.

Excellent story. Very engaging from the start. Yes, there are some parts that are disturbing to imagine, but I highly recommend it.
