About this audiobook
Laurel Wreath and Aspen Gold Award winner Delia Parr is acclaimed for her inspiring historical romances. Living in an 1840s Erie Canal town in upstate New York, Emma Garrett-the genteel proprietor of a bustling boarding house-learns to trust in God despite trying circumstances. A widow with family far away, 51-year-old Emma fills her loneliness by caring for her guests and sharing her own special blend of wisdom and humor. One stormy night, a rap at her door interrupts her musings. The 80-year-old Widow Leonard is standing in the rain, seeking refuge from her sons' constant bickering. Housing this feisty runaway granny, however, puts Emma in the crosshairs of a family feud. But this crisis is more easily resolved than the one which soon looms over Emma's future. "Fans of Jan Karon's enormously popular Mitford series should love Parr's work" Philadelphia Inquirer "Delia Parr writes a beautiful story that will stay in your heart!"-Literary Times "A wonderful new series by a gifted author."-A Romance Review.com "A soul-lifting launch."-Barnes and Noble.com

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Enjoyable read although frustrating to have so many questions left unsolved at the end.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Very sweet story of elderly woman in 1800's surviving as a widow.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A very easy read about a widow living in Candlewood in the 1800s. She has a very deep faith and tries to live by the holy book. Not usually my type of thing, but very comforting to read about a thoroughly nice person, who tries to give of her best to everyone she comes into contact with. Very enjoyable!
