Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

Prairie Legacy - All 4 Books
I absolutely loved this series of books.. You truly get so attached to the people in these books that you hate for the story to end. I ran the full Gambit of emotions throughout this series. I laughed out loud at times, I cried more than I care to admit... and more than once I got angry with a character in the story.. lol. Exceptionally well written and narrated. I will read these again. 👍👍

Wonderful
What an enjoyable story to listen to about a young girl growing up and struggling with life at her age. I enjoyed how the author tells the story of two friends with differing family dynamics and struggles.

great, wholesome story
I loved the story. It takes a little bit to get going, but it's good. The reader is a bit dramatic: aggressive really. Once you can see through that, it gets better.

Another good book from Janette Oke!
It was a little slow in the beginning but turned out to be another good story from Janette Oke. Good for all ages but especially interesting to teens since it's a story about a young girl.
