Great acting and story line but...

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Make it into Chapters. This is no fun having to find where you left off last. Also create a track list so we can know where to find certain chapters if we want.

WOW! Just wow!

Would you consider the audio edition of Another Dawn to be better than the print version?

I don't know, actually. This is the first book I listened to that I hadn't read yet! I'm very glad that I did!

What other book might you compare Another Dawn to and why?

There is nothing to compare it to!! I read mostly historical romances, and this was a (happy!) break from the norm.

What does Therese Plummer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The wonderful southern accents. Even though I live in a southern state, I wouldn't have read the book the same way she acted it out. I loved how in the parts that the main character became emotional, her Californian accent slipped a bit and incorporated a bit of 'southern'. It was just a brilliant performance all around.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I listened to this book mostly at work, leaving the last few hours (due to happenstance) to listen to at home. I am so glad I didn't hear the climax while at work-- If I had, I would have been very embarrassed. I was BAWLING at the climax, tears streaming down my face as I listened. It was a really great part of the story and one I want to go back and listen to again just because.

Any additional comments?

I got this audio book on a whim because I had read one of her other books (Going Amish). This book, Another Dawn, is so much deeper than the summary would have you think. It's a story of hurt, trouble, forgiveness, and love, all the while teaching you something. It laid bare the facts of a huge argument aroused by event in the book, and let you fairly see all the sides. It did have romance in it, but it's not the main focus of the story.If this story doesn't have you bawling in tears by the end of it, I'd be surprised. I loved this book and am VERY glad I got it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Oh yes. This was my first audio book on audible, and I did NOT have high hopes. I've tried listening to audio books before (albeit only samples, but still) and with the exception of dramaticized ones, I always thought they were awful. This book proved me wrong. (I've come to realize since that I usually like the first person narratives best!) If I had any friends interested in this genre, I would practically demand that they get this audio book.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything. I love how it starts simple and frilly and spirals into depth and truth, with an amazing ending.

What does Suzy Jackson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Suzy Jackson, at least for the duration of this audio book, IS Clara Carter! Her voice, her attitude, the way she said certain things and certain parts of the book... I had a vague voice in my head when I read this book, and when I heard this audio book, it was like taking the voice out of my imagination-- only better. The way she switched from Clara to Lizzie just by making her voice sound more optimistic and lighter.... Or the old cranky aunt.... Every voice was exactly as I imagined it... Even the guys!!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, and I've read it before!

Any additional comments?

This book is one of my favorites. When I read it in print, I knew I wouldn't forget it. It's well written, heartwarming and breaking, and the main character is so like myself... but it truly became a top favorite when I heard it, and I will always cherish this book.
