About this listen

When a young woman's plans for her future fall apart at the close of World War II, she discovers new purpose as a midwife in the hills of Kentucky - and a possible chance at new love.

Francine Howard has her life all mapped out until the soldier she planned to marry at WWII's end writes to tell her he's in love with a woman in England. Devastated, Francine seeks a fresh start in the Appalachian Mountains, training to be a nurse midwife for the Frontier Nursing Service.

Deeply affected by the horrors he witnessed at war, Ben Locke has never thought further ahead than making it home to Kentucky. His future shrouded in as much mist as his beloved mountains, he's at a loss when it comes to envisioning what's next for his life.

When Francine's and Ben's paths intersect, it's immediately clear that they are from different worlds and value different things. But love has a way of healing old wounds...and revealing tantalizing new possibilities.

Very enjoyable listen!

The story was easy to follow and moved along at a good pace. So enjoyable to listen to a story without vulgarity and sex!

Great book, Great Performance!

This is a sweet story about the Frontier Nursing School, which itself is a fascinating part of American history. It is a work of historical fiction, but the pictures the author paints of Appalachia from this time period are spectacular. And, the narrator gives the characters such perfect voices. The most amazing thing is how true to life her East Kentucky accent is! A lot of audiobooks with southern characters just end up sounding like cartoonish parodies, but Ms. Pike-Stewart gives these characters dignity by portraying their accents without exaggeration and how they actually sound.

good story

I really enjoyed the story. I wish it hadn't ended where it did because it felt incomplete. I also enjoyed the narrator. I felt she was a little to intense in places.

Delightful Story

Loved this book!!! Characters and storyline were great! I like Ann's writing style. No filler. Fun to listen to.

Emily Pike Stewart is a fabulous narrator! Her voices were excellent, and finally, someone who can match the emotion of the manuscript!! She acts the parts very well and makes it thoroughly enjoyable!!!
