Waiting for Summer's Return by Kim Vogel Sawyer
4.0
I listened to the audio book with the Barbara Caruso. She did a great job with voice differences for Summer, Peter, Thomas and all the other characters. She made it very enjoyable book.
We watch as Summer Steadman deals with her grief over the loss of her whole family in Kansas. We do have at first, a lot of grief & flash backs and sadness over the loss. Peter Ollenbuger is a German Mennonite in a very small town of that does not want the outside world in it. Peter has dealt with his own loss. But now he is in need of a teacher for his young son, Thomas, and he is told to ask about Mrs. Steadman teaching his son. Will Summer come to understand the God that Peter loves and talks about often?
This story was great and drew me in by the narrator's voice and the way she drew the story with the inflections and voice variations made me love this story. I highly recommend that you listen to this story, as many felt that it spent too much flashing back to Summer's remberance of her family. I think the audio book made it easier to see how it played into her growth past her grief.
