A Lady of High Regard

Ladies of Liberty, Book 1

By: Tracie Peterson

Narrated by: Judith West

Born into affluence, Mia Stanley is a winsome socialite with a knack for matchmaking. She's also a writer for Godey's Lady's Book magazine, much to the dismay of her family and their society friends. A proper young lady of her social standing isn't meant to labor in such a way, but Mia has always had a way with words. When her writing draws her into the world of downtrodden seamen's wives on Philadelphia's docks, Mia uncovers an alarming scheme that puts her in harm's way. But her heart ends up on the line as well. Has her determination to always make a match driven away the one man whose esteem she covets?©2007 Tracie Peterson (P)2008 Oasis Audio

Great short audible book

Would you consider the audio edition of A Lady of High Regard to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version of the book, though I have read other books by Tracie Peterson. It was delightful to have this one as an audio version. Brought the story alive.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mia was my favorite character. She wants to help others and it's full steam ahead without much consideration of danger or other consequences. I wish we all had her drive toimprove our world.

What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator did a good job with male and female voices. I could just picture them in my mind as they went through their dialogue.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Love is often found where we least expect it.

Any additional comments?

I loved having a shorter audio book. The whole story fit into the 6 hours very nicely.
