It was heartbreaking listening to Tom trying decide on a last name.
Absolutely hated the ending.
Karen White did a great job with the narration as usual. Her character voices are great. Nice voice very easy to listen to. Always enjoyable listening to her narration.

I had high hopes for this book, but I was disappointed. The storyling dragged on forever without much original thought. The characters were predictable and after a
while I became bored, just wishing for the end. The American Civil War was a terrible period of time and it takes someone special to tell a fictionalized tale not yet
shared.
The narration was well done,considering the material she was given. The characters were portrayed as well as expected..
Throwing in the towel
After listening to the first couple hours I'm calling it quits. I'm sorry, but I'm finding the story slow, the writing mediocre, the characters one-dimensional and mostly unbelievable, and the narrator not good (terrible accents). I wanted to like it because I was given this book at no charge in exchange for my unbiased review, but I'm sorry, I just don't.
