Reviews
Beautifully read.
Jordana Welch
Mr. Evers and his beautiful reading is not enough to save this miserable story. This story is nothing more than anti-divorce and anti-women's rights propaganda from a bygone era. The storyline is predictable. Women are shamed and held responsible for the bad behavior of men. Had I known before reading that the author was against women having the right to vote, I would not have bothered to listen to it.
