Walter Gregory is a gentleman whose health is broken down by the stress of Wall Street and the consequences of his fast lifestyle. Disillusioned in love and betrayed in friendship, he returns to visit his childhood home in the country. Who is this young woman Annie Walton he finds there? Can she truly be as good as she seems? He determines to test her character to the utmost. Deceitful villains, fire, death, and nautical disasters all try our hero and heroine. She has shown him the saving faith that gives life. Can he rescue her from a false fiancé who would ruin hers? (LikeManyWaters) (0 hr 37 min)

Step back in time


(5 stars)

A very Victorian and Christian kind of story, that is, the theme is religious belief. Each main character has to undergo stresses and trials, make mistakes, express doubt to varying degrees, reveal follies, and find forgiveness, faith, and truth. The reader only mispronounced a couple words, and her unrushed pacing and tempered expression suited the tone of the story well.

this story is i·r·r·e·s·i·s·t·i·b·l·e ... tho it drags out quite a bit the end makes it worth it all ! ! ! ... there is even some singing-not very much ..it sure seems to take the REAL lovers quite awhile to understand each other ... it is a 'must' to read/listen to it

wonderful redemption


(5 stars)

Such a good book! It tells the story of Brokenness redeemed by the goodness of God. Exciting read as well.
