Love this book! Perfect Narration!!

Ive read this about 3 times, maybe 4. Always a terrific read. The narrator is the best, she is able to capture the characters that the writer created. Excellent combination. Worth sharing.

Excellent find for the holidays

Very pleased with Jennifer Beals as the narrarator and the story was very touching, especially during the Christmas season. I was not aware that she was narrarating audible books. Great to know and another one to love by MHC.

Love Mary Higgins - We miss her

Great Christmas Mystery. All of her Christmas books are worth the read for the holidays.

Nice Family oriented clean uplifting story

This was a pleasant story that was easy to follow and with the beautiful voice of Jennifer Beals. The plot was entertaining and refreshingly clean and uplifting. This is an excellent story for families to listen to together.

This is an Abridgment version, but WOW

Jennifer Beals, Flashdance film, is wonderful. Her exceptional voice made this short novella wonderful. In the publishers information at the end it noted that this was an abridgment but I can tell you it was so well done you think it’s just a short story. I love short stories because great writers can really do a wonderful job, and the person who formatted for audio was excellent.
As in most of the MHC books, heroine or secondary characters generally have Issues with afraid to tell, afraid not to tell moral dilemma. Don’t miss this one and you will find that Miss Beals has an excellent reading voice as well as doing accents. Per Shirley MacLaine “who knew” where my comments of help?
