Wholesome!

Good listen! Nice story, pretty much G rated. Good narration. I will listen to more from this author.

Good story, good voices, but...

Any additional comments?

you can hear the narrator swallowing throughout the entire book...very annoying.

It's a good story, loved the Christian aspect best.

Brilliant Story

This story is captivating from beginning to end! The author has strategically thought out the plots and characters! I got lost in the story. It was even better the second time when I could process more information. The narrator also did a great job. Her voice influx kept the story much more intriguing.
