Resumen del Editor

In the final chapter of the Tucker series, David Johnson introduces us to a new family – a family in need of the kind of help that only Tucker and her family can give. Benjamin Trevathan, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, and a speech impediment, is a boy saddled with adult responsibilities in the midst of his dysfunctional home. He provides the majority of care for his younger siblings and for his mother who is sick with cancer. His stepfather stays gone for days and weeks on drinking binges, only to come home to take out his anger and frustration on his family. This family’s nomadic life brings them to the house that Ella used to live in beside Tucker. Tucker sets her sites on the evil stepfather, while April, who has returned home with her own complications to live with Tucker, identifies with Benjamin’s struggles with being teased and bullied and decides she can help save him from self-destructing. This is a story of simple people engaged in heroic acts, the kinds of acts that change people’s lives.

The abomination of AI narration!

Firstly, from the very beginning I was horrified that this wonderful story, the 5th in the series, was sullied by the narration which was faulty, distracting, and unworthy of this author’s contributions. I can’t believe it was approved in place of the stellar narrations of each and everyone of the previous 4 books. I will never listen to any AI narrated books in the future.

The story continues the saga of Tucker and her family as they share their meager possessions with a new family that moves in next door. It is inspiring, informative, and heartwarming as all of the earlier books have been. I only hope that David Johnson will continue more books in the series. We need his positive view of what human nature can deliver to us all.

The story line, loved the Tucker series

The virtual voice took away the pleasure of listening to the last story in the Tucker series. If it comes out with a true person reading it I will listen again.

Good story with relevant issues

First of all, this was narrated with virtual voice. I must say that I am NOT a fan of that. It made it harder to enjoy the story or feel it because of mispronunciation, lack of emotion, tone, etc. I won't get another book with this narration. That being said, I did enjoy this book & love the series. The ending could have been better. It just kind of stopped without much explanation. I would recommend this book, but I would definitely read it, not listen with virtual voice.
