Reviews
The 2nd best book from this writer, 1st being "Freckles" !





Sandrainia3
This is a book written for people over 15-16, it deals with adult feelings and deep moral "Right" actions ! Freckles is a much better book for all age groups, I read and understood Freckles at first at age 9-10, and loved it all over again at 62 via the fine LibriVox Volunteer voices when I grew to weak to hold a book, as well as to blind to read books any longer due to multiple medical problems. Thank you dear volunteer voices for giving me back the joys of affordable reading again when I thought it had gone from me forever !!!

of all the Gene Stratton- Porter works I have read this is my favorite and this reading is very good. Ms. Stein does very well in her pace of reading and giving each character their own voice so that you know who is talking. I look forward to more from both the author and the narrator.
Perfect match to the meaning of the story





Oriana Calabrese
Wonderfully heartwarming and inspiring story. A book everybody should read in our troubled times alienated from nature and the true source of happiness
good book well read

made me want to study wood lore and herbalism. I wish Cindy Steib would read more books. Great pace and élocution is excellent. She varies voices enough to know who is talking without being irritating
Beautifully Read, Swwet Story





Athena’s Grandma
The reader did an excellent job! The plot starts off a little slow, but once he meets his dream girl I couldn’t put it down! Such a sweet story. One of my favorites!

very descriptive narrative. almost got boring but then the plot would thicken and it would pique the interest again. overall very enjoyable.
