Critic reviews

excellent !

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the narrator! Very well described the thoughts of master manipulator!

Great listen!

Dirk and his desire to share God’s word and guide other people to the Lord. Great book get me interested all the way through wish there was a second book about Jack’s redemption I would recommend this book to anyone

How God answered a Whatever it takes Prayer!

Unlike most other series I’ve read, this one did not lose steam as it continued. I could not put it down. It just got better and better. Kim Vogel has just rivaled my favorite authors. Can’t wait to read more of her books!

Where Willows Grow

I would have rated this story five stars if it had not been for the author leaving a couple of questions unanswered at the end. Other than the aforementioned, a very good book. Enjoyed the narrator very much. Linda Stephens does a good job differentiating between the different characters.

Story great-Narrator ruined entire book. 😏

The storyline was really great, but, in all honesty, I Only continued listening because I didn't know how to get my money back. The reason for that is that the narrator was almost intolerable. She (bless her heart-I don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings)-was one of the most boring, monotonous "readers" I've ever heard. The voices of the "men" sounded no different than the women. I just done enjoy being "read to" with little to no feeling or drama. I would go back and listen again to try to "feel" the story. I really had to listen and put myself in the story on my own. In one part, the climax of the entire book, in my opinion, when The main character found out Harley was alive, I was taken aback at the lack of emotion by the reader/ narrator. It was as if she were telling the listeners something as unimportant as she was fixing a sandwich for lunch. I will prolly miss a book in the series if I see this narrator as the "performer".

Where Willows Grow

Lovely story enjoyed it very much. My parents
lived through the depression and I know what they
went through. A very heartwarming story.

Great storyline

I loved this book of life, live and faith during the drought in Kansas. Finding ways to eek out a living on a farm that could not produce. Kim Vogel Sawyer did a great job incorporating history with fiction. Wonderful narration.

Best of Kim V. Sawyer

This was by far the book that I enjoyed the most from this author. It was not as predictable and it grabbed my attention right from the start.

Good Storyline

Kim always has good storylines. She can paint a great picture of a scene with her words, but often I get tired of some the way she phrases things. Phrases that people don't normally use in speech when describing things.

Linda Stephens uses realistic voices for her characters, and her acting is good.
