About this listen

 An excerpt from the book: "Sure, it's unusual to have an 18-year-old mother when you're 12. But when you're an orphan and she's your aunt and the only mother you've ever had well, as I explained, it had worked out real well.

That's why I got so riled up when I heard Grandpa and Uncle Charlie talkin' about findin' a fella for Auntie Lou!

You see, somethin' had to be done! I couldn't just sit back and watch our special family get broken up. But with Grandpa and Uncle Charlie workin' so hard to get Auntie Lou married off, I really had my job cut out for me.

Then, when that poor preacher came along, it really got complicated.

And maybe you'll find out what I found out about the best kind of family, I mean."

If you need something happy to dwell on or if you’re feeling disillusioned, this book is so easy to listen to and it reminds you that there still are good people and simple joys in life. The narrator did a great job.

Good old fashioned story!

I really loved this store, and only used audible when I wanted to "keep reading", hands free. I did not like the way this book was broken up for the audio files. it said there were 6 chapters, and so 28 chapters were divided into six audio files, which made it difficult to find my place, as I was reading primarily and really only listened to 4-5 chapters of the whole book on here.

overall very good. a great, wholesome book for families who like to listen/read together with their children.

great book!
