By: Linda S. Clare

Narrated by: Diane Piron-Gelman

In The Fence My Father Built, when legally separated Muri Pond, a librarian, hauls her kids, teenage Nova and 11-year-old Truman, out to the tiny town of Murkee, Oregon, where her father, Joe Pond, lived and died, she’s confronted by a neighbor’s harassment over water rights and Joe’s legacy: a fence made from old oven doors.The fence and accompanying house trailer horrify rebellious Nova, who runs away to the drug-infested streets of Seattle. Muri searches for her daughter and for something to believe in, all the while trying to save her inheritance from the conniving neighbor who calls her dad Chief Joseph. Along with Joe’s sister, Aunt Lutie, and the Red Rock Tabernacle Ladies, Muri must rediscover the faith her alcoholic dad never abandoned in order to reclaim her own spiritual path.

superb

extremely well written and excellent performance. really pleased. regards from Iceland 🇮🇸 thank you for sharing

Love this story

This story is about Native Americans in eastern Oregon. However, they could have been anywhere in the U.S. The White man still pushes the Indians down and make them live in terrible reservations. The story tells how Miri has to fight to save sacred ground from the white man by herself. This is a great story.

Such a sweet book

I give this whole story and narrator a 5 star and love how real this book is how much of a beautiful live story it is without out details that take your mind to the gutter

The fence my father built

I loved this book! I will look for more books by this author and the narrator was excellent!

Was okay!

The story was good in the sense of greed, love, deception, and family, but it was heavy on religion.
Narration was okay
