A Touch of Grace

Daughters of Blessing, Book 3

By: Lauraine Snelling

Narrated by: Renee Ertl

Eighteen-year-old Grace Knutson loves Blessing, North Dakota, and sees no reason to leave. She's more serious-minded than her twin sister, Sophie, and very sensitive to the feelings of others. In spite of her family's disapproval, Grace has always had a soft spot in her heart for Toby Valders, for she's seen the vulnerable side he keeps well hidden. Jonathan Gould, the handsome scion of a wealthy New York family, creates a flurry of anticipation and speculation when he arrives in Blessing. Jonathan's father wants him to learn the value of manual labor and to appreciate the accomplishments of those not born to wealth. Surprisingly, the "city boy" takes to farm life and actually enjoys working from dawn to dusk alongside the others. Soon he finds himself inexplicably drawn to gentle, courageous Grace.

Wonderful look into what a deaf person experiences

I really enjoued this story about Grace. It gave a glimpse into what life is like from a deaf person's perspective. The narration was well done. I think her slowing down Grace's speech gave credibility to how difficult speaking was for Grace since she was born deaf.

great book to read

loved it, all of the series go well together. just waiting for 3 of the series to be put on audio

Story

Liked it all very much but sometimes thinking words were hard to distinguish from spoken words

needs Stina Nelson back as narrator

as usual, snelling produces a great story. but after hearing the wonderful Stina Nelson bring the previous books on this family to life, this narrator hit a sour note. she really should have listened to her predecessor.

Awful narration

I’ve loved this whole series up until now. I hate to rate this so low, but the narrator, Renee Ertl, pretty much ruined this story for me. I don’t think I’ll be finishing this one.
