A Leap of Faith

a heart-warming novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author

By: Trisha Ashley

Narrated by: Julia Franklin

Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of A Leap of Faith by Trisha Ashley, read by Julia Franklin.

Sappho Jones stopped counting birthdays when she reached thirty but, even with her hazy grip on mathematics, she realises that she's on the slippery slope to the big four-oh! With the thought suddenly lodged in her mind that she's a mere cat's whisker away from becoming a single eccentric female living in a country cottage in Wales, she has the urge to do something dramatic before it's too late.

The trouble is, as an adventurous woman of a certain age, Sappho's pretty much been there, done that, got the T-shirt. In fact, the only thing she hasn't tried is motherhood. And with sexy potter Nye on hand as a potential daddy - or at least donor - is it time for her to consider the biggest leap of all? It's either that or buy a cat . . .

Wonderfully wry, heart-warming and life-affirming, Trisha Ashley's hilarious novel is perfect for fans of romantic comedies by Milly Johnson and Jill Mansell. And it contains recipes!

**This novel was originally published in 2001 as The Urge to Jump.**

Trisha at her best (Carole Matthews)

I Adore Julia Franklin as Narrator

Julia’s seductive man eater voice is unforgettable. She’s such a great narrator!
Oh an this book is pretty funny too

Love Trisha!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it is a fun, delightful story, IF you can stand the choppy, jerky, uneven performance.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Leap of Faith?

The scenes in the cave. Fun.

Would you be willing to try another one of Julia Franklin’s performances?

No. Heavens no.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I can't listen to anything for almost 10 continuous hours.

Any additional comments?

Don't let Ms. Franklin's performance discourage you from Trisha Ashley's books. She is talented writer, excellent with humor, and has unique presentation of her plots. (Although I'd read this one!) The other books are preformed much better.

Story is great! Narrerator is HORRIBLE

As always, Trisha Ashley stories are witty and charming. I just wish they would get another narrerator. This woman is awful! She sounds like she's 90 years old, smokes a pack of ciggies a day, and drinks gallon of whiskey before old reading the part of young women.
