This is an older, sweet story. I originally read it about 25 years ago and enjoyed it then. I listened to the audiobook this time around. The story is mostly predictable and it is an easy, slow-paced book, so it is easy to listen to while doing dishes, folding laundry, etc. The narrator, Ruth Ann Phimister, is good - there are a lot of little background noises, but once I got used to them, I didn't notice them anymore.
One thing I do dislike about the book is the terrible grammar of the characters, it seems over the top bad and to hear it read out loud did grate on my nerves a bit. But not enough for me to not listen to the other books in the series. I started book 2, "Loves Enduring Promise." today.
Something I always appreciate about Janette Oke's books is the Gospel being shared. This is a very Christian story, and God, the Bible, and the Gospel are mentioned frequently. Faith is a very important aspect of most, if not all, Janette Oke's books.
