Good story - reader, not so good

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her attempt to do male voices is really rough..they all sound somewhat like an Eeyore type character.

Any additional comments?

Story is good!

The Heling Quilt

The lady ready wasn't good at men voices... sorry.. at points I had to talk myself into listening.. the Story was Wonderful but her voice oh my not good... I love Wanda E Brunsetter stories of the Amish.

Beautiful entangled story!

I love that it included a few characters from the previous quilt novels by her!!

Narrator is Distracting Story is Uplifting

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend the book, but not the audiobook. It is poorly narrated and I really dislike the music at the beginning of each chapter. Somehow, just seems hokie.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Emma, she is a kind gentle lady who truly exemplifies Christ love for others.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Judith West?

ANYONE.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Enjoyable

Loved the story and the teaching of quilting bringing all walks of like together. Emma and her husband were used by God to help and influence many to seek Him in all their lives.

Quilts and life lessons

This is the third book in the quilting series. Emma and Lamar met after their spouses died. They found each other in their older age and have enjoyed teaching six week courses in quilting, teaching those who God brings to them. Because of Lamar's arthritis, they've taken a house in Florida for the cold winter, away from their Indiana Amish community.

In this book, the class consists of a sullen 14 year old who is paralyzed in her legs because of a diving accident, a young pregnant woman whose husband has just lost his job, an older artist who wants to paint the ocean before he dies from cancer, a busy charter boat owner, a lonely waitress, and a newly retired widowed teacher. Their lives are impacted by a visiting motorcyclist who was in the previous quilting class in Indiana.

This is a relationship book that shows how listening and trusting God helps people with their life issues. Very reaffirming and interesting story lines. I've thoroughly enjoyed all three quilting class books!

Great way to finish the series

Loved all the characters, I like how relationships were repaired and how the bible was quoted and very helpful for life.

Beautiful story

I enjoyed this story very much. It is the third in the series. Only thing I didn't like was some if the male voices & and the music at the end of each chapter.

The Lord uses us in mysterious ways.

Great story of letting God use you to help others. Highly recommended listening for all.

Wonderful Story, did not enjoy the narration.

The entire series of books is just wonderful. The stories are well done, though a bit repetitive. The first two books had a different narrator and I enjoyed that person's reading far more than this one. The woman reads very well but doesn't have a range for changing voices. Her man's voice made them all sound like they were old. And you could tell it was an older woman doing nothing more than tucking her chin and lowering her voice. It was annoying. But, the story was great.
