Acerca de esta escucha
Omaha, 1905: During the gilded age, when women live subjugated to men, 18-year-old Bridget prides herself on having earned acceptance to medical school.
When her father is murdered, a crime that does not interest the law because he was half Native American, she risks her plans to become a doctor, determined to avenge his murder.
Bridget's quest thrusts her into a world of seedy men and glitzy women, in one of Omaha's most opulent brothels. There, she finds herself the prey rather than the hunter. If she is to survive, she must keep the reclusive madam's shocking secrets, learn to trust her heart's yearning for the man who befriends her, and embrace her complicated alliance with a community of notorious women considered society's lowest.

On the last day of eighth grade, Maggie begins to dream of finding a way to escape the drudgery and confinement of life in the hollow and establish her independence. Her plan begins to fall in place when she enters high school and discovers she has a natural talent for excelling in shorthand, typing, and other business classes. Meanwhile she spares no effort in helping her family continue to survive despite their poverty, a less than fertile few acres, and a family history of instability.

In a North Carolina mountain town filled with moonshine and rotten husbands, Sadie Blue is only the latest girl to face a dead-end future at the mercy of a dangerous drunk. She's been married to Roy Tupkin for 15 days, and she knows now that she should have listened to the folks who said he was trouble. But when a stranger sweeps in and knocks the world off-kilter for everyone in town, Sadie begins to think there might be more to life than being Roy's wife.

Narration very disappointing
Both the first book and this book are great stories. Having listened to the first book on audio, listening to the narration of this book was so disappointing. The narrator does no accents, and the fact that the main character has an Irish accent, makes it hard to keep in mind. Also, the voice for the main character sounds 13, and not 18 years old and lacks any animation in her speech. I almost stopped listening after the first 10 minutes, not convinced. But, having listened to the first book, I knew the story in the second book would be good.
