More Than Meets the Eye

By: Karen Witemeyer

Narrated by: Stephanie Cozart

Many consider Evangeline Hamilton cursed. Orphaned at a young age and possessing a pair of mismatched eyes - one bright blue, the other dark brown - Eva has fought to find her way in a world that constantly rejects her. Yet the support of even one person can help overcome the world's judgments, and Eva has two - Seth and Zach, two former orphans she now counts as brothers. 

Seeking justice against the man who stole his birthright and destroyed his family, Logan Fowler arrives in 1880s Pecan Gap, Texas, to confront Zach Hamilton, the hardened criminal responsible for his father's death. Only instead of finding a solitary ruthless gambler, he discovers a man not much older than himself with an unusual family.

When Zach's sister, Evangeline, insists on dousing Logan with sunshine every time their paths cross, Logan finds his quest completely derailed. Who is truly responsible for his lost legacy, and will restoring the past satisfy if it means forfeiting a future with Evangeline?

This is a “tear jerker “ at times. Well worth reading.

Eveline and her brother Hamilton were at ages 4 and 9 years of age. Eveline had an oddity which tended to drive others away. Hamilton was tall and likable. They were on an orphan train from New York to Texas. Since Hamilton refused to be separated from his sister, he turned to a mean orphan who helped him devise a plan to insure he’d be able to stay with his sister. Plans don’t always work out.
One mean orphan, one frail sickly one, Eveline and Hamilton were on their way back to New York when a twist of fate changed each life forever.
This is a bittersweet tale of which one will surely need to keep a box of Kleenex close by.
This is a story of commitment, perseverance, faith, family, survival, revenge, forgiveness, love, attitude, and many more topics.
The narrator, Stephanie Cozart, did a marvelous job in drawing the reader into the story. Her “voices” and emphasis were very well presented.
The story was an outstanding one and the characters were very endearing and a couple very aggravating. The Book Title and Cover were simple, yet were a good “fit”.

Wonderful book

I loved everything about this book. Once you start it’s hard to put it down. I highly recommend this series.

3 Orphans Come Together to Form Their Own Family

A very enjoyable story about three orphans put on an orphan train who devise a way to become a family of their own instead of being adopted by families who are just looking for free labor. I loved all the characters the author did a great job with their development. I'm reading the 2nd book in the series now and it's just as enjoyable. I will be looking at this author's other works as I really got into both stories and hated to put them down.

Always a Pleasure

When I am reading/listening to a story, I enjoy characters who grab my heart and keep me interested in their story. Karen Witemeyer always delights me with her characters. The 3 main characters in this story hold you until the end, as their story is life-changing for each one of them. Then you mix in a couple of others characters to try to separate the 3 from each other and a conflict ensues. Well-rounded story-line with fun, adventure, intrigue, and secrets all around.

Always a pleasure to read Karen's books.

Great story and fabulous narration!

Just get this one. Don’t hesitate. It is a wonderful experience to hear. I can’t imagine anyone not liking it. I usually give four stars on everything but this was over and above. Really enjoyable
