The Cookie Cutter Legacy

A Multi-Generational Novel

De: Deb Graham

Narrado por: Hannah Johnson

In this warm, Christian historical fiction, Henrietta, a tough, 95-plus-year-old North Dakota cattle rancher, weakened from a bout of pneumonia, comes to live with her great-niece in rural Oregon, bringing the family treasure with her.

From the time of Queen Elizabeth I, each generation of the Van Demere family has added a cookie cutter to the collection, marking milestones, passing down their oral history. Each cookie cutter’s vignette tells a story of American history, including WWII spies, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Underground Railroad, indentured servitude, pioneers crossing the plains and the gold rush, barnstormers, orphan trains, safari, and the Titanic. Testaments of faith and strong women through generations.

Henrietta feels a bounden duty to pass the stories to Jerria. Will she complete the family heritage before it’s too late?

If you love warm, clean, multigenerational stories with a Christian viewpoint, you’ll love The Cookie Cutters Legacy by Deb Graham.

Lackluster narration, weak characters, good story

I love the idea of this story, the re-telling of history through a family’s collection of antique cookie cutters. I enjoyed all the historical detail, but I did not like the way it was executed in a mostly non-stop narrative of the main character with minor inclusion of very lackluster secondary characters.

I listened to the audio version and did not care for the narrator at all. All the characters sounded the same. It made for monotonous listening. I may have enjoyed it more if I’d read it myself, though it’s hard to say.

Generations of memories

Each generation faces choices & must decide how they will live their life. These stories are commemorated by cookie cutters & passed down through the generations. At a point in time the family embraces the Mormon religion & becomes a part of this history.
I requested a review copy of this title & am willingly giving my impressions.

A Good Listen

I got this story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. this was a set of stories inside of a story. Each story was about a particular cookie cutter and how it was obtained. The narrator was ok and told the stories well. Some of the stories were good some lackluster but overall the entire story was a good listen.

Fun read for those who enjoy historical fiction.

This is a fun read for those who enjoy historical fiction. The narrator gives a nice casual feel to the stories that are being relayed throughout the family members and the generations. The eras are well-described in a believable manner, as are the characters. The author does a good job of bringing the reader into the history and describing the events as they happened to the characters.
I received this audiobook free in exchange for my honest review. I believe people who enjoy historical fiction will enjoy this book as an addition to their audible library.

this book was given to me for review by my request

really enjoyed listening to all kinds of stories of the past, each story had a cookie cutter that was used as the start.
The narrator was good.
This story has been giving the lord credit for God is great.

Inexperienced

I think the narrator sounded inexperienced. Read too fast; couldn’t tell when scenes changed until several sentences into the new; sentences run together;voice didn’t fit characters-sounded too young for older people. I mean for this to be constructive and helpful not critical.
