Story was interesting with twist and turns. it had plenty of villans. Most of the narrators were descent.

Too bad I can’t give it more than five stars. Grace Livingston Hill has a fantastic imagination and she used it brilliantly in this delightful story. I like her books because they swept me into lands of fantasy that seem so real. But because we know then aren’t we can be carried away for a few hours not like so many modern books which seem so dark with the cares of life.

emotional!

This is one of GLH's good ones. The beginning is very gripping and emotional - I really was kept guessing. Her books seem to be more or less repetitive - this one is in the middle. She over uses some phrases - "poor child" and repeated mention of the tasseled curls - but it's not as bad as some GLH books which are just so over the top. This book also isn't very spiritual, as her stories also range from extremely Christian to vaguely moral... this is on the just moral side. Finally, this is a rare collection of all good readers and sound quality. Only one reader nearly spoils an otherwise excellent effort. I almost didn't listen when I saw it was a collaboration, that would be a mistake, in this case! All around good.

Unrealistic story but well read

Oae

Not one of my best Grace Livingston Hill’s book because of how unrealistic and shallow the story is. In my view, her heroine’s main quality was her physical beauty. The actions of the girl made her appear as very naive, not innocent. Grace LH writes very well so the book is not boring. If you are like me and you like depths in your story and qualities you can learn from, you might be disappointed with this book, as only few nuggets can be gotten from the time spent. However, the quality of the reading is very good. The readers did a very good job with the book. Well done readers.

I'm so angry!!! GLH is a Master Writer

i have already listened to this novel a few times but even so, as I listen, (Chapter 8), GLH has such a way of building the characters and the story lines that i am currently sitting in the room with Dawn and ready to wring her stepmother's neck. The cruelty of the stepmother. The cowardice of her father... Even reminding myself that this is a work of fiction and that these characters 'lived' 2 centuries prior. DOESN'T MATTER!!! GLH is a Master Weaver - when you finish this story, continue to discover other writhed by this author. July 2021

Tragic yet with endurance

Dawn grows in her will and wisdom of the world. She faces many hardship-- death of loved-ones, rejection, hunger, false accusations, etc. Her willingness to fight for truth & forgive in word and action, is a model to emulate. Although there were many readers & lengthy twists in the story--I recommend this read.

Very Suspenseful.

Seems like a long book, but my, how it flies by. Barbara Hale was my favorite reader. I have been listening to some of Grace Livingston Hill’s other books and they just keep getting better and better! I also recommend another author, similar to Grace Livingston Hill, ”Pansy” (Grace’s aunt)

I don't know why I'm so addicted to these turn of the century romance novels by Ms Hill, but I am. Each one seems better than the last. My only complaint is the rotation of readers. JUST PICK ONE!
