All the Little Hopes

De: Leah Weiss

Narrado por: Kate Forbes

A Southern story of friendship forged by books and bees, when the timeless troubles of growing up meet the murky shadows of World War II.

Deep in the tobacco land of North Carolina, nothing's been the same since the boys shipped off to war and worry took their place. Thirteen-year-old Lucy Brown is precocious and itching for adventure. Then Allie Bert Tucker wanders into town, an outcast with a puzzling past, and Lucy figures the two of them can solve any curious crime they find - just like her hero, Nancy Drew.

Their chance comes when a man goes missing, a woman stops speaking, and an eccentric gives the girls a mystery to solve that takes them beyond the ordinary. Their quiet town, seasoned with honeybees and sweet tea, becomes home to a Nazi prisoner-of-war camp. More men go missing. And together, the girls embark on a journey to discover if we ever really know who the enemy is.

Lush with Southern atmosphere, All The Little Hopes is the story of two girls growing up as war creeps closer, blurring the difference between what's right, what's wrong, and what we know to be true.

Great story for then and now!

We loved this story and all the intertwined relationships -taking us back to the feelings and experiences of the 1940's while dealing with life issues common to all generations.

Southern Living

Leah Weiss captures the southern landscape beautifully! Wonderful storyline and great characters! The reader is wonderful! Mesmerizing and I did not want the story to end!

Excellent story, delivered perfectly.

The story was great, but made even better by Kate Forbes’ beautiful and haunting voice.

Storyline

Storyline was great! Narrator was good. I really enjoyed this one. You'll fall in love with the characters.

All the little hopes

This book shows the compassion for others and inclusive attitude that is missing today. It is great story of acquiescence and kindness toward one’s fellow man . The main characters show kindness and no jealousy.

Enjoyable

Like others have said, it isn’t very complicated or great literature, but charming (usually) and comforting to listen to. I didn’t like the Ouija board parts, and some parts were a too graphic and profane, but it had some lovable characters.

Heartwarming!

Such a heartwarming story through the innocent eyes of 2 young girls. A feel good book with extraordinary storytelling. Beautifully written and beautifully read too! I felt the voice matched the energy of the book very well.

Leah Weiss is a gifted author

I’m becoming a big fan after reading two of her books. I highly recommend her work to others.

What Should Be

Anyone reading this that has been touched by the ugly of life that have left scars deep inside them might think thoughts of skepticism after listening to this novel. I hope you let that go and know that this story is out there now, the kindness, the happiness, the good the bad and the ugly that was present years ago. By all the feelings, and all the emotions that goes along with feelings, we learn and share with others and it's these other's, the one's who listen there is a magic that happens. Never forget, what is shared by someone, to someone who is willing to listen, a powerful gift is at work. Pay forward always with your feelings, let your emotion show too, accept what is offered and without anyone knowing, along the way, a good is born.

Powerful storytelling

Filled with heart and hope, this book is a treasure and one not to be missed
