Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Elizabeth Wiley’s narration is the highlight of this audiobook. Her voice conveys the gentle empathy needed to portray both Bea's inner strength and the horse's trust in her. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, mirroring the slow but steady progress of their relationship. What sets this apart are the vivid descriptions of Depression-era life that seamlessly weave into the narrative—making each scene feel authentic and lived-in. A couple of minor missteps occur during more dramatic scenes where the pacing slightly falters, but these do little to detract from the overall enchanting experience. For fans of historical fiction and horse stories alike, this audiobook offers a delightful listen that’s both moving and inspiring.
