Publisher's Summary:
Christy Award finalist Deeanne Gist's compelling best seller portrays Rachel Van Buren's efforts to escape the gold-rush quagmire of 1849 San Francisco - with her high moral principles intact. Rachel is shocked by this mud-infested boomtown, where the only females are of ill repute. When saloon owner Johnnie Parker, a widower and former missionary, allows her to stay in his unoccupied shanty, she agrees to cook and clean for him. But Rachel soon struggles with their growing attraction.

Who was the most memorable character of The Measure of a Lady and why?
I liked the little boy, he doesn't come in until toward the end, can't remember exactly where but he was fun! Now in trying I cannot remember his name but he was a gem, when you first hear from him you will know who I"m speaking of :)
Any additional comments?
So happy I've discovered this author! I've not listened to anything yet that wasn't enjoyable, entertaining and never lost interest in the story line. I'm really enjoying her writings!
Preachy...
How disappointing to realize hours in that this was written by the Christian Coalition. Couldn't even finish it at that point...
A delightful historic romatic novel
An excellent listen, very entertaining and refreshingly clean! One of my favorites! I could listen again. Jennifer
