Room of My Own

By: Ann Tatlock

Narrated by: Kate Forbes

This charming, old-fashioned story of a girl growing up during the depression will convince you that anything is possible. Against a backdrop of authentic hardship and despair, 13-year-old Virginia Eade discovers the true source of happiness. A doctor's daughter, Virginia spends her days dreaming of romance with "the two Charlies" - Charles Lindburgh and Charlie Chaplin. Soon Virginia is forced to give up her room to less fortunate relatives, and failed banks, closed shops, and breadlines crop up in her insulated world. When her father asks her to accompany him as he provides much needed medical care in the notorious hobo village, Virginia's life is changed forever. The 1930s become poignantly real with the novel's wealth of period detail, providing a dramatic backdrop for a message of hope and compassion. Kate Forbes' narration of this best-selling inspirational novel is guaranteed to touch your heart. She so skillfully portrays Virginia and conveys the ambiance of the depression era that the result is truly magical.©1998 Ann Tatlock (P)1999 Recorded Books, LLC

Loved it!

Wonderful historical story of living through the depression and people's faith in God. Very uplifting after seeing so many books with no moral values!

Ann does not disappoint

Ann is a masterful story-teller. The rich backdrop of the 30's is both charming and disturbing.
I'm new to audio books, but enjoyed the reading very much.

Interesting story about the depression

The narrator was pretty good overall, but she did mispronounce a couple of words. I enjoyed the story.

Amazing

I had read this years ago. In the previous years I’ve tried and tried to find it, but I couldn’t remember the author. It is so well written that it does a fabulous job of pulling you in.

Great

I enjoyed this book. The characters and story reminded me so much of my grandparents talking about the depression times.
