The Governess

By: Kristen McKendry

Narrated by: Nancy Peterson

Independent young Kate Porter envisions a future far greater than the middle-class existence she's always lived, and her work as a governess is simply a means to an end. The glittering world of a society wife calls, and her new position as a private tutor for the children of Mr. Alonzo Colaco is a step in the right direction. She merrily imagines the grand house awaiting her - but when her new employer meets her at the train station driving a gaily-painted gypsy wagon, Kate suspects her new job as a children's tutor will not be all she dreamed.

Instead of the mansion she anticipated, Kate finds herself living in the woods in a refitted train car and teaching the charming children of Alonzo, a tinker by trade. After trying in vain to secure another job, Kate is left with little choice. She must simply bide her time until a better position presents itself. Before long, however, she finds herself abandoning her petticoats and preconceptions in favor of the joys of a simple life - and the possibility of true love. But when opportunity knocks, will Kate really be ready to walk away from all she's come to care for to pursue her high-society dreams?

Wonderful story with a twist

This story was very different than most. The development of the characters was well done. It is nice to be hoping for a certain ending and kept me listening. Clean and meaningful

Great story. Complete Book

Heartwarming story. Thankfully no fault language or sexual content. Highly recommend. The performance was well done.

Slow building story

At times the slow pace was annoying but also appreciate the 3 dimensional characters. Beautiful and brilliant clean read. Thank you.

Amazing, well written story. My fav Audible book.

Buy this book, you will love. It is romantic and has a wholesome story line. I have listened to this book over and over. I so love it. I wish the writer would do a sequel. I wish more people would give this book a chance. I don't feel it gets the credit it deserves. I wish we could visit the characters again. I loved the chemistry between Kate and Alonzo.
