The story depicts the lives of mountain people living in the Ozarks and the mystery surrounding an old man called 'The Shepherd of the Hills,' who's called Dad Howitt. The backdrop storyline surrounds the pretty Samantha Lane, called Sammy, and her love of Young Matt, Grant Matthews. The shepherd, an elderly, mysterious, learned man, escapes the buzzing restlessness of the city to live in the backwoods neighborhood of Mutton Hollow in the Ozark hills.

fantastic story of family & neighbors

the reader did a wonderful job! the best volume, pausing, pronunciation ever! she read with great feeling and character. the story is about family and neighbors who treat each other like family. a great read for men or woman, something for everyone with romance bank robbery guns animals and mystery. you may end up reading it twice! because once all the mysteries are cleared, reading it a second time will give you such a deeper appreciation for the storyline. this is not a far fetched fairytale, but something easy to hear and imagine.

I would recommend this in a heartbeat. The story is excellent. It encompasses both the beauty of nature and the human soul. The mystery of the haunted cabin, the spark between Sammy and Matt, the mysterious shepherd, and the outlaw Bald-nobbers all make for a compelling tale. The reader is fantastic and really makes the story come alive with her gentle and soothing voice.

Wonderful story. The narrator did an excellent job of reading the with feeling and expression. I especially liked the way she managed the dialogue of all the different characters. I listened to it at night before I went to sleep and it was ideal for that as it was a beautiful, calm story.

A beautiful recording. Emily's voice is so sweet, soft, and well paced. To tell the truth, the reading is better than the material -- which is pretty good in itself. I'll be looking for more of her work. TheBookworm (Manchester, UK)

There are no books so great as these old classics. They show us a wealth of outstanding character. To live as these characters lived would be a great thing to strive for in today's world.
Will listen to again
