bad narrator
narrator sounds like she's trying to be a robot reading on 2x speed. no emotions are being shown in the story.
I love Janette Oke's stories and have a large collection of them. She is one of my favorite authors.
My recommendation is to find a better narrator for these wonderful stories.
