Revisionist history

The book hails Margaret Sanger as a hero while eschewing (rightfully so) eugenics. So which is it? You can’t have it both ways.

Good ending to the series

I don't feel that this book was as good as the first two. I do like the way that the story story as a whole started and ended with Elizabeth. I feel that the first two novels had more to say and did it in a more clear way. I did enjoy this book and feel more enlightened after reading this series.

Story and narration great - editing is lacking

I have listened to the other books in this series and loved them! I loved the story line of this one, but there is something wrong with the editing. When they trimmed and pieced together the recording, they left gaps just a smidge too long - maybe and extra second or two. This results in odd pauses in conversations or narratives, leading me to pull out my phone and figure out if it paused accidentally (it did not).

Please clean up these odd pauses for future listeners and it will be wonderful!

Lack Luster

This author and narrator are usually awesome, not so much this time. The story was flat

Scarlet Carnation

This was a good book. I adored Yellow crocus & Mustard seeds, but I also like this book, too. I believe reading all four of the series makes it all worth it. I loved the excellent writing, the storyline, the history, the fight & grit it took - I appreciated this book series.
In addition, I enjoyed the narration. Absolutely excellently performance. Nobody like Bahni Turpin to bring a great story to life. Great job.
Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾 to Lisbeth & Mattie. True heroism that I will forever appreciate.
For those who may not have enjoyed the book as much, perhaps a better understanding of the history during those times is needed.

you must listen to every single one of these. .

... starting with yellow crocus. Laila and Bahni are incredible. I saw comments that were less than favorable and I cannot disagree more strongly with every single one of them. each of these books is a treasure and you will not want to miss any word of them or of the compelling and heartwishing narrative performances. and I have it on good authority there's another book in the works so do yourself a favor and start right away! I promise you based on 400 plus books I've listened to that you will not regret it ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

Simplistic, Repetitive Writing

I really wanted to like this book. I loved Yellow Crocus. There are no contractions which is totally unrealistic. I felt I was being read to by the narrator as if I was a child listening to a teacher or parent reading a children’s book.
At least 1/3 could have been taken out of this book. Very disappointing.

Hard to get through

This story was slow. I had a hard time getting into it. If you did not read/listen to the other books in the series I think the reader/listener will be somewhat lost. Just okay but not my favorite.

Family

The story of this beautiful family continues. I can’t wait for the next in the series

Next!

I have enjoyed listening to the main characters lives unfold and those of their descendants. Please tell me there will be more to continue.
