A Virtuous Woman

By: Kaye Gibbons

Narrated by: Terry Beaver, Kaye Gibbons

When Blinking Jack Stokes met Ruby Pitt Woodrow, she was twenty and he was forty. She was the carefully raised daughter of Carolina gentry and he was a skinny tenant farmer who had never owned anything in his life. She was newly widowed after a disastrous marriage to a brutal drifter. He had never asked a woman to do more than help him hitch a mule. They didn't fall in love so much as they simply found each other and held on for dear life.
In A Virtuous Woman, Kaye Gibbons transcends her early promise, creating a multilayered and indelibly convincing portrait of two seemingly ill-matched people who somehow miraculously make a marriage.©1997 Kaye Gibbons, All Rights Reserved; (P)1997 Simon & Schuster Inc., All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Good book.

Good narration. I also enjoyed the story. It made me think of my own life.

Simply Delightful

A simple little novel about ordinary people...and yet I liked them immediately and cared about what happened to them. It's hard to believe that the narrators, (the author and a man), were not actually these people. The man, especially, was so real, and someone you would love to meet. I'm glad I stumbled upon this one!

A Virtuous Woman

Highly enjoyable.I was able to identify with the main character's feelings and enjoyed this book immensly

Very sweet story

Heartwarming! I enjoyed the narrators. It was like listening to a play. Easy listening. Loved Jacks sense of humor.

Perfect Audiobook

Really well suited to audiobook, the story is narrated in the personal voices of the two characters which makes it a really enjoyable listen.
