A Promise for Spring

By: Kim Vogel Sawyer

Narrated by: Barbara Caruso

In A Promise for Spring by ACF Book of the Year novelist Kim Vogel Sawyer, Geoffrey Garrett leaves his 17-year-old fiancée in England while he establishes his Kansas ranch and builds her a proper house. But when he sends for her five years later in 1874, it's clear her feelings have changed far more than his. Despite his desire to marry and her wish to leave, they forge a compromise. If she remains as the ranch's housekeeper until spring, he will pay for her trip back home.©2009 Kim Vogel Sawyer (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC

Love this narrator.

This is a sweet storyline, but the narrator totally brings it to life, she does such a good job.

Love this story

Great story about commitment and love, weave in Godly principles makes this a great read! Love this author.

Beautiful story

The narrator makes the story come alive! I was hoping the two riding up in the wagon at the end would be exactly who they were. When she said there was a wagon with two people… my mind said oh let it be…… and ……..! I have listened to this story in my car and even my husband and granddaughter know what is happening!!

amazing reader

once again the reader was amazing. wishing she would be the reader for the entire series.

I love Barbara. caruso!!

I enjoyed this narration and story very much. I think I will listen to it again soon!!

AWESOME

I totally enjoyed this book. It actually helped strengthen my faith in GOD & get me through a major struggle. AMEN.

The Irish accent they are from England. The narrator forgot they are from England.

Barbara Caruso is one of my favorite all-time narrators so talented. It was just hard to listen to because she’s using an Irish accent.

Least favorite of Kim's I've listened to thus far.

What disappointed you about A Promise for Spring?

Characters weak, immature, and bickering until the end.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Barbara Caruso?

I wouldn't have cast anyone else, I like Ms. Caruso's work and was glad to see she was going to narrate before I downloaded. But a lot of the time her English/England accent sounded more Irish. Still good work.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Loved Tildie's character and the strong faith in God she represented. She was my favorite character in this book.

Good depiction of life on the Prairie in the 1800s

I usually really like this authors stories. And although in the end, this story turns out like I need a romance to turn out, getting there was very painful. There was conflict in almost every scene, and that is pretty heavy for a moderately light romance even a period piece.

The dialogue is very good. The narrator is very good. The anxiety that each person produces Inham or herself due to jealousy and miscommunication were hard to handle.

for junior high school age females

This seems to be a preachy romance novel aimed at junior high age girls. If you fall into that demographic, it may not be bad. However, I found it juvenile, repetitive, and boring.
