Aunt Crete's Emancipation

De: Grace Livingston Hill

Narrado por: Anne Hancock

Aunt Crete has spent a lifetime of toil catering to the needs of her family, especially her waspish sister, Carrie, and social-climbing niece, Louella. When a telegram from a nephew from out west announces his imminent arrival, mother and daughter hasten a trip to the shore to escape the "country cousin" who they are sure will shame them. Aunt Crete is left to welcome him with open arms, and young Donald soon realizes that his loving spinster aunt deserves her own vacation and that his other relatives deserve a comeuppance.

Grace Livingston Hill's update of the Cinderella story features a heroine who lives her life by the Golden Rule and who is justly rewarded.

loved it

Great book. the narrator is stupendous! I loved the simple and meaningful purpose of the story.

Kindness and humility

I appreciated Anne Hancock’s reading of Aunt Crete’s Emancipation. Grace Livingston Hill has done a skillful job of weaving in several angles of kindness and the freeing of a tender spirit from stifling perceptions, criticism, and bullying. We also see how our perceptions are sometimes misapplied when a pearl is in rags or a wench manipulating. Well worth the listen and taking to heart our own shortcomings to pass on kindness.

As only Grace Livingston Hill can

I grew up reading GLH books. She always taught you to love and respect even the unlovely. There is no malice or revenge in the heart of a Christian who's heart is filled with God's love. Everyone should benefit and be enriched from listening to this book. The reader did a superb job.

Delightful

Aunt Crete’s Emancipation is a delightful short story. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing her coming into her well deserved and joyful reward after years of drudgery.

Great book!

We really enjoyed this story. It was pleasant and listening to it was a great way to relax for an evening.
