A feud lasting over decades is ended when one sweet person melts the hearts in a small Texas town. I love Carolyn Brown. She has a tue gift for story telling. Be it a series or single standing. I await every story. Thank you Carolyn for every enjoyable moment

This narrator drew me in and enfolded me with the story of old wounds made right by a wonderful main character who I wished was part of my own family. I loved this book!

Carolyn Brown has written a story that captures the attention of the listener right away. Narration was very good, easy to follow. The story touched on some very difficult subjects, but she was able to really pull at the listeners heart.
I was laughing, crying and cheering the characters' on thorough out the whole story.

love this book ,I couldn't wait to hear it all
was such a great story I could almost fell the sorrow and pain the all had to work out together
I hope to see a nother book stare where this left off
can't wait

been long time since I was moved to tears and had goose bumps from a book .
a hard topic with a fantastic storyline

Really enjoyed how the story was developed and the presenter's voice inflected. She really drew me in to the story

Having lived in Texas most of my life, I feel comfortable in saying people in Texas do not have the horrid fake accents this narrator has. I almost stopped listening because I found the narrator to be so bad. The story is wonderful and I'm glad I was able to get past the terrible, fake accent of the narration and focus on the story. If you are not from the south it might not bother you.

I enjoyed this book. Realistic characters will lead you threw a whirlwind of emotions. This is a story of forgiveness and healing. Remember loves conquerors all.

Read By Britney Presley , who brings the story to life .
This is a story about a young woman filled with joy . She brings her family together ,and helps others to see the beauty of the love which surrounds our lives , if only we open ourselves to forgiveness and appreciate that which we are given. A very good romantic story. brings joy to a dull day.
