My Review
The author gives you a story inside a story of love lost
with two men leaving town in different years for different reason losing the
love they had. Two women who have always been there and they felt they always would.
What these men found is they may have made the biggest mistake of their lives
but young dumb we do not always see the road ahead and sometimes make the right
choice for the wrong reason or the other way around. One thing for sure every
road we take makes us the person we are today as you will see in this lovely
story if one person changed one thing their lives would have changed then there
wouldn’t be the people around they love today. Can one man and one woman learn
from the other couples mistakes forgiving and forgetting the past? One thing is
for sure there will be many misunderstandings that will keep you laughing out loud
at these two as they butt heads over and over again seeing things as they see
them not as they are. There will be times you will want to get out a tissue as
the love of the older couple turn back the pages and relives years long ago and
all they have loss.
Ms. Dougherty did a great job of narrating this audio it did
take me a little time to get into her voice. I have also listened to other
samples of her work and feel this voice was more for the time period and how
things were done back then. This narrator has many different voices she uses in
other audios you would never know it was the same lady which is truly amazing
to me. In this audio her many different character voices were outstanding. Her
male voices were as good as her female ones, you never have trouble knowing who
is talking or what they are feeling. You will laugh with some characters and
other you will feel their pain and sorrow. There will be times you heart will
break along with the character leaving you wishing you could lend a shoulder.
The narrator brings this out more so than if you were just reading she really
brings the story to life as she leaves you chuckling at little Sharpie who is a
delight. There are not any background noises just a clear fun audio. The
narrators tones are even smoothly delivered there is no doubt you will get lost
in her voice as she brings this audio to life. I look forward to listening to
more from Ms. Dougherty.
What I really enjoyed in this story was Sharpie, Aunt Hen,
the mystery of who was stealing, the head butting between Prudence and Gidry,
the electric lighting and how they thought it might affect their land, the
postcards added so much to this story I really laughed myself silly once I got
over the shock. There are so many wonderful parts that the author and narrator
give us. It really was a lovely audio with meaning and feeling. It has a lovely
ending but I would have loved to have seen what happened with aunt Hen and who
was Sharpies father.
The author writing is truly lovely as she twisting the story
to give you humor and making you feel the characters pain. A lot is going on
but you have no trouble keeping up. She spins a little mystery along with a
little jealously which really pulls the reader in. Leaving you with the
question of what is up with that wooden leg? lol Aunt Hen tells a wonderful story of their past
and how it could affect Pru . She is a wise women who has a way about her that she
can get the point across making you think it was your idea. What you get with
this audio is a delightful listen which will leave you smiling, almost in tears
at time, only to make you laugh out loud. It has a wonderful plot with
wonderful characters that you can relate to and I feel sure in some way part of
this most likely has happen to most of us. This is the first I have story I
have read/listened to of the author and narrator. I look forward to picking up
more of each of their works.

Overview
When Gidry Chavis returns to his Texas hometown to reconcile with his dying
father, he must also face Prudence Belmont, the fiancé he jilted eight years
ago with no more than a brief note, a woman who is no longer a gullible girl
but a determined grownup with ideas of her own. Pamela Morsi's strong sense of
time (the 1890s) and place and lightly realistic humor add to a gentle romance
that is pure Americana and purely charming. Roses, streetlights, and a pair of
well-matched protagonists combine in this well-written, captivating story of
rekindled love that will definitely appeal to Morsi's many fans. Morsi is a
Rita award-winning writer and lives in San Antonio. From the first moment she met her new Texas neighbor, Prudence Belmont was in love. When she was old enough for marriage, Gidry Chavis promptly presented her with an engagement ring, and all her dreams seemed to have come true. But the hellraising Gidry disappeared before the wedding, leaving only a brief note in explanation. "My dear Miss Prudence, I have determined that it is best that we do not wed. Please forgive me and recall me with fondness." Now Chavistown's notorious favorite son is back, wiser, remorseful, sunbrowned and manly. Everyone in town has accepted his transformation to a hardworking town leader - all except Pru. After all, only a man with wicked thoughts could believe that she, the president of the Ladies' Rose and Garden Society, would mail out racy postcards, and only a cad would demand bribes of kisses to keep quiet. If he thinks he can win her love again, he's wrong. Or is he? "My only lover, I am ready to fulfill your every desire, if you will agree to grant my dearest wish...Yours soon to be..."
