Miracles on Maple Hill

De: Virginia Sorensen

Narrado por: Cynthia Bishop, the Full Cast Family

A father's wounded heart. A mother's patient love. An eager boy, an impetuous girl, and, above all, the healing power of nature. These are the classic ingredients that fill Virginia Sorensen's Newbery Award-winning novel with a tender power and lift it to classic status.

First published in 1956, Miracles on Maple Hill is almost uncanny in its appeal for today's young listeners. For here is the story of a father returned from war in a distant land, wounded in body but even more in spirit, and a family desperate for him to be returned to wholeness, a wholeness they hope can be found on Maple Hill.

With language that is tender, precise, evocative, and yet fiercely powerful, Sorensen draws listeners into a year in the family's life, a year filled with small miracles that yield great reward.

Lovingly brought to life by the Full Cast Family, this is a recording for the entire family to cherish.

Engaging Story for the whole Family

We enjoyed Miracles on Maple Hill, especially as a military family, the moments where the father is working to heal, that was good for all of us to listen to. The full cast made the book that much more lively, and we enjoyed the music in between chapters. Overall the book felt like a warm hug that we will listen to again.

Very well read

An enjoyable reading of a great story. Recommend for all ages. My kids especially enjoyed it.

Great full vast recording & great story

We loved this audio version with a full cast. It was great! It is a wonderful story for the whole family, too.

Very enjoyable!

Each person in the story was perfectly cast. I would like to hear more stories narrated by Cynthia Bishop.

This is great Family read for all ages.

I usually love Full Cast readings and this book made the cut. I felt the voices were well casted for each part and the story was very well developed with many unexpected surprise twist and turns. This book will make want to laugh, cry, smile, and sing. It is a great read for all ages.
