Resumen del Editor

Unlike most folks, Hannah Westley never outgrew her childhood sense of wonder. Her first twenty years on the farm were the beginning of a life filled with adventure. Her simple childhood was rich with experiences that offer a glimpse into a time when family values had real meaning. The maps in the one-room Mine Bank School were her Bible and by the eighth grade she had read all of the books in the library. A perpetual run-away, she often dreamed of stowing away on a banana boat and escaping to South America! Her imagination became her passport to far-away lands. As an adult, Hannah did indeed reach many distant shores. Nimble as a hummingbird, she zooms through her early years and inspires us to follow her amazing journey. Children of all ages will enjoy these memories of a very different lifestyle and day not so long ago.

: Hannah Cook Westley

A short listen of memories of a woman that grew up on her family farm. There is humor as well as a bit of drama to keep th listener entertained. It was nice to hear about life not too many years past. I like when family share stories of their relatives from their writings.


The narration was a little slow. but I listened on my Kindle at 2X the speed and that helped. Linda Velwest's voice went well with the story.


"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."

Good Read

Any additional comments?

Wow by Hannah Cook Westley was a good quick read. Hannah was a girl who grew up on the farm but didn't let that stop her from making life an adventure. This was a great book about Hannah's life.

Tales of the Past Shared

I was given a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review . Hannah Cook Westley wrote stories of her childhood and young adult life on a rural farm in Pennsylvania from the 1930s through 1950. She brings the past to life vividly. The narrator, Linda Velwest, does an excellent job. I enjoyed listening and believe listeners of all ages will be charmed and educated by this book.

put this on you next to listen too

I was gifted this audio ARC for a honest and unbiased review from the author/narrator.
Hannah Cook Westly wrote a very different kind of story then I'm used to reading/listening to! But saying that I loved it! For a short story it was all about memories of the women who grew up on the family farm. I am doing my genealogy of my family and wish I had thought of doing the same. There was a touch of drama and a lot of laugh out loud moments.
Linda Velwest's voice was spot on for the story but it was a little on the slow side actually sped the book up to 1.5.
I highly recommend this audio book to you. Yes you reading my review.....buy this audio book
