The Paradise Petition

De: Carolyn Brown

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

In nineteenth-century Texas, two tough-minded women dare to challenge the status quo in a warm, witty, and adventurous historical romance by New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown.

Daisy Lindberg and Lily Boyle traded a colorful past for a fresh start as seamstresses in Autrie, Texas, and their aim to spark a women’s rights movement is raising eyebrows among the town’s dumbfounded men. But among the ladies? Tired of being treated like possessions, they have two words: Amen, sister!

Beulah, a sassy shop owner as formidable as a cannon shot, is on board. So is Alma, a timid preacher’s wife who hit her breaking point. Before long, a courageous female posse has a liberating petition of demands. Surprisingly, they also have an empathetic ear in sheep rancher Matt Maguire, who’s as keen on women’s independence as he is on Lily.

As Daisy and Lily make waves in the small town, their secrets threaten to come out. But they haven’t traveled this far to let their past define them. In fact, with love and the forging of new lives on the line, they’ve never felt more defiant.

Great prequel to the Paradise series!!

Carolyn Brown has done it again! This is a great book with some historical factors about early women's rights movement mixed in. It was nice to find out more about the original Paradise and the ladies that worked and lived there.

The rights women had to fight to have in 1853

I couldn’t put it down. Love the characters and how they brought women together to obtain simple rights as well their safety.

Great listen

Totally enjoyed this newest book written by Carolyn Brown. Carolyn has a way to draw the reader/listener in from start to finish. Enjoyed the 1800’s fight for women’s rights woven into the story with historical facts I didn’t know before listening to this book. Also, I always enjoy books narrated by Brittany Pressley.

BEST BOOK TO DATE!

I think I have read every book from Carolyn Brown, but this by far is my favorite! It is a great reminder of how far we have come and to NEVER go back to the way it was! 2025 has been a challenge, but we will never give up! The drama, the romance, and the triumph! This could be a Hallmark movie! TOGETHER TOGETHER TOGETHER

I love the reference to the women's movement.

I love the reference to the women's movement and how the supported each other.

Poor writing

The readers were bad and story line was silly. But up to Browns usual standard
