What a joy.

I read this book when it first came out and thoroughly enjoyed it. This audio version of the book also did not disappoint. The narrator was easy to listen to and really brought the characters to life. The story was sweet and charming. Well worth the listen.

Faith of a child

This is a sweet mail order bride (of sorts), story of a young girl praying for a mother. Can the prayers of a child and a series of circumstances bring two people together? A quick story for a pleasant afternoon escape.

A Child Knows Best

Wonderful narrator. Harlan adopted a brother and sister, Clay and Millie, from the Orphan Train. Life is going well, until Millie wants a Mother and Harlan needs a horse trainer. When Millie tells the housekeeper, her dreams, the housekeeper thinks she can help her. A friend back in Pennsylvania has a daughter who trains horses, so she sends a letter out right away. Elise is surprised to receive the letter and accepts right away. Her dream of being a horse trainer is coming true. Could a conversation with a stranger on the train, derail everyone's dreams. Very enjoyable book.

I was given a copy of this book by the author for an honest review.

Excellent

As always Barbara’s books do not disappoint. Well written, entertaining, sweet historical romance. Their story was believable and warm. It’s always great to read about women in the old west in non traditional occupations.

Genuine Love

A heartwarming story of love and family. An independent lady horse trainer. A little girl who wants a momma. A little danger and suspense thrown in to keep readers/listeners interested and you have a very good story. I enjoyed this one as well as many others by this author.

The narrative was well done on this.
