A Proper Pursuit

By: Lynn Austin

Narrated by: Jennifer Ikeda

It seems a perfect backdrop for what Violet Hayes longs to experience: a little mystery, a little romance.

To be honest, it is more than a little mystery. She schemed her way to Chicago to discover the mother she barely remembered. As for romance—well, with the help of her grandmother and three great aunts, that is coming along nicely as well—perhaps too well. Each of her relatives—including her saintly grandmother—seems to have a separate agenda for her.

In the course of a summer, Violet's world will open wide before her eyes. But in the wake of discovery, she must find a way to determine which path—and which man—will ultimately be the right lifetime choice for her.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Another amazing book by Lynn Austin. Loved, Loved, Loved it! You can't go wrong with her books! The is a delightful and humorous book about a 20 year old from the late 1800's who travels to Chicago to visit her Grandmother and three great-aunts. Each aunt has a different idea of what kind of man Violet Rose should or should not marry. This book could be categorized in so many different ways. It is historical fiction, inspirational Christian, comedy, romance and mystery all wrapped up in one. A must read!

Excellent

I love this story and it was just as enjoyable the second time around. The narrator was fabulous.
