At first I thought, what a Hick! Meaning no bad intention, but the accent and voice sounded all wrong for the story. Not at all… I just had to get thru the first 10 minutes and I was sold. This author grabs you right away and takes you to places never before visited by this northern girl! This was well written, well read aloud and just delightful in the stories that unfolded right before you expected them! Am overall great book.
