Dear Lady

By: Robin Lee Hatcher

Narrated by: Pam Ward

Set in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Coming to America series is Love Comes Softly meets Little House on the Prairie.

Dear Mary,

New Prospects, Montana, is nothing like England--so terrifying and beautiful at the same time, and much larger than I dared imagine when you and I first embarked on our adventures in the New World. I have had the good fortune of becoming the town's schoolmistress. Young Janie Steele is as precious as I imagined from her letters. As for her father, Garret Steele . . . Oh, I feel like such a fool! I've run halfway around the world to escape a man I loathed, only to discover I'm losing my heart to a man still in love with the wife he buried. The mayor, kind man, has been most attentive. But I wish he were someone else. I wish he were Garret.

With affection,

Your friend Beth Wellington

In the big-sky country of Montana, the past doesn't always stay buried. Circumstances have a way of forcing secrets into the open, sometimes bringing hearts together in unlikely ways, and sometimes tearing them apart.

Robin Lee Hatcher's Coming to America series blends intense chemistry and conflict between the characters, strong female protagonists, and rich historical settings with a glowing faith and humanity that will win your heart.

What did you like best about Dear Lady? What did you like least?

good book eazy to listen to. Now a book that you were hanging on to each word.

Would you be willing to try another book from Robin Lee Hatcher? Why or why not?

yes, the other books in seres got better.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Pam Ward?

no, her voices were not good for men.

The lead male voice was difficult to like

This story was sweet enough but lacked depth. It is purely a romance and everything in the story pertains to the growing of the relationship in someway. I prefer a book to be filled with story that includes some romance. I want to really know the characters as a friend and independent of their feelings about each other. I want to see them as they are and not who they are attracted to. This wasn’t a bad book- but I wouldn’t read it again.

never tire

I have listened to this several times, and never tire of it. I especially like the narration

Light, easy romance.

What made the experience of listening to Dear Lady the most enjoyable?

Historical setting with a somewhat different twist. Excellent narrator!!

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The untamed, undeveloped west.

The strictly romance format - it could have used more depth of character/history.

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

The change of voices for each character. Her interpretation of the characters was excellent and her cadence in reading is also excellent.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No.

Any additional comments?

This is good, what I call

Wonderful book.

I loved the book. It made me feel as though I was living in that era and experiencing the life of Beth, the "Dear Lady". If actually convicted my heart to have more of her traits! I've really enjoyed this newfound (by me, anyway) author's books, and Pam Ward is my favorite narrator.
