Love the family history and the secrets the past in the story

The story of how the family characters receive confirmation of where they came from and why they have their own special traits that make them unique make this book a must to complete a historical connection.

Must have, especially for Christmas!!

Love this stand alone story, I've had this book for several years and it's a holiday tradition. When you're decorating for Christmas, baking holiday cookies, sitting in front of your fireplace, or whatever you do for the holidays, make this wonderful story of joy a part of your life. The narrator was awesome as well.

Love the Mallory fam

Johanna is one of my favorites. Narration was amazing. Although i had read about the Mallory’s way back when the audio was a very good choice.

Such a good story. It is different from the stories up to this point but a wonderful way to learn of the past. Catching up on who had how many children was terrific.

Laural Merlington did a fantastic job narrating. she brought the story to life.

Other Malory series novels by the same author.

Any additional comments?

The voices the narator uses for the male characters, especially Anthony, grates on me... he sounds like a pirate. I also do not care for her 'chuckles' or laughter.
