Land of My Heart

De: Tracie Peterson

Narrado por: Ruth Ann Phimister

Adventurers, families, outlaws were all driven west in the 1860s by a longing for endless blue sky along with wild and wide-open spaces. Tracie Peterson, from her own Montana home, paints an unforgettable portrait of this rich, rugged landscape, populated by strong and spirited characters. When Dianne Chadwick urges her family to move west to her uncle's ranch in the Montana Territory, she has no idea that her new life in the rugged frontier - and even within her uncle's home - will not be the idyllic adventure she expects. But first she has to survive the arduous wagon journey with the help of guide Cole Selby, whose heart seems to be as hard as the mountains he loves.©2005 Kathleen Krull (P)2008 Recorded Books,LLC

awesome book, poor narration

This is one of the best books I have listened to in months. However, the narration is not good. Her voice is not really pleasant,but I could live with that except: the last few chapters are difficult to listen to. She has times that it sounds like her lips must be dry and she stops to lick them and there are silent spots where all you hear is narrator's breathing.

Love the book and the narration!!

I bought the audio version of this book and I must say, it was one of my best picks of choosing from a first time author that I have never read anything from...this book is amazing! I have listened to this narrator before and just love her narration, I am not sure what the other reviews are so negative about...she does a wonderful job!!! Highly recommend!!!

A Good Book on the Historical West

I enjoyed learning the difficulties of the days of the formation of the western USA. The families in the wagon trains, the Indians, and family relationships. It made me feel I was a part of the story at times.

Good Story line.

The reader licking/smacking her lips drove me crazy. Maybe needed to move the mic away from her mouth. Otherwise she did a great job!

Captivating

I almost closed this book after the first few hours because my heart couldn’t take any more tragedy- but then I was reminded by stories of my own pioneer ancestors that such tragedies were very real and I could honour their sacrifices more completely by better understanding them- this story is compelling and gripping- my emotions were completely engaged. I can’t wait to hear what happens next and how Travis is going to get out of his most
