Twas The Night

By: Dan Walsh

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

(From the Bestselling Author of The Unfinished Gift, Rescuing Finley, and The Reunion)

In 1960 just days before Christmas, Theresa Dempsey, a young mother from Brooklyn, experiences an unspeakable tragedy. Two years later, she relocates to Black Rock, a small mountain town in North Carolina, hoping to make a fresh start. About that time, in a little cabin deep in the mountainous woods, young Ransom is trying to survive a day at a time, caring for his sister Emma, and an ailing father as a snowstorm approaches. Back in Black Rock, Deputy Bud Ellison is scrambling to catch a serial burglar, the first real crime this town has seen in years—during the holidays no less. On one remarkable cold, snowy night, the paths of all three of these lives will collide, and change them all forever.

Warmth in the Winter

The resilience of Emma and the children. That Bud is a Christian and relied on his faith in God and his church leader for answers to his dilemma.

Although I have had several of his books for a while, I read my first Dan Walsh book last year and was able to scratch him from my New-To-Me-Author list and move him to my Want-to-Read-Everything-He-Writes list. I still have a lot of unread Walsh novels but look forward to enjoying more of his works.

Dan Walsh Christmas novels are contemplative with a “feel good” instead of a “sweet and sappy” undertone. Some of his characters are rough and abrasive, yet they, through the love of God and some good “church people”, can all be redeeemed. Twas the Night is no different, as it clenches your heart and points you to Jesus…our very own and only True Redeemer…whose birth we celebrate this time every year.

This audiobook is Virtual Voice generated so it is fairly enjoyable with less inflection than a true audio performance.

This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language.

A short sweet story

What I liked was that it was clean and that it had a happy ending cause sometimes she just need a happy ending smiley face. The story was included on Audible plus as one of the plus titles.

Virtual Voice

I typically enjoy books by Dan Walsh. However, I downloaded the Virtual Voice recording and found it distracting and in my opinion, not done very well. The reading was flat and the inflections were often wrong.

Beautiful Story

As an orphan at 7 myself, this was a very heart touching story. If you want a good, clean audio book I highly recommend listening to author Dan Walsh.
