Comfort Food

I am currently listening to it. I don't want it to end.
I had read the book a year or so ago and enjoyed it very much, but the narration by Barbara Caruso brings the characters to life. I would definitely re-read the book and re-listen to the audiobook.

Very enjoyable!

The story line, the authors words and the narrator made this story so enjoyable! This is one of the best books I have listened to, in a complete sense, in a long time!

Delightful

A wholesome story about loss and love and finding strength through faith. Not overdone. Likeable characters and realistic life obstacles. Just a good listen.

Love love love this book

What a great read! I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great love story. Love this author!

The narrator deserves 10 stars!

heart warming story. I could listen to the voice and accent of this narrator endlessly!! Very gifted. Barbara brought the story to life.

Loved this book!

This was a fantastic book. I couldn't put it down until I heard the entire story. Yes, I did sleep, but it wasn't by choice LOL. Looking forward to another one!

Love everything about this book!

Would you listen to Waiting for Summer's Return again? Why?

Yes. It was a very pleasant and entertaining listen. Although I am not familiar with Mennonite dialect, the narrator was likeable and quite enjoyable to listen to - good voice inflection and timing with her words.

Have you listened to any of Barbara Caruso’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I listened to Barbara Caruso narrate Anne of Green Gables. Loved her there, also!

Any additional comments?

This storyline was very easy to follow. Since I was listening while at work, this is exactly what I wanted. Barbara really

I loved it!

Kim Vogel Sawyer is one of my favorite authors. She always has characters that deal with real issues and grow through them. This book did not disappoint! And the performance was great too. At first the accent seemed awkward to listen to, but as I got into the story I wouldn’t have it any other way!

This book has it all!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the narrator did a wonderful job. I’m a widow and also lost a son so I relate to the emotions of Summer, Peter and Nadine. Looking forward to the next in
this series. 5+ stars!

A Must Listen

This was a such a great story. The story line was very well written, and the narrator did a outstanding job sounding out the different characters. Even my husband enjoyed listening to the story. We were on a road trip and I asked him if he wanted to listen to the story. To humor me he did and ended up liking the story. This isn't my husbands type of book, but he thought the characters were interesting. If you like Historical Romance you'll love this one!
