About this listen

A Sweeping Saga

As the sole survivor of the car crash that killed her parents, grief-stricken paramedic Kit MacKlenna is stunned to learn her life is built on lies. A legacy from her father includes a faded letter and a well-worn journal. The journal reveals she was abandoned as a baby 160 years ago. The only clues to her identity are a blood-splattered shawl, a locket with the portrait of a 19th century man, and a Celtic brooch with magical powers. Kit decides to continue her father's 25-year search for her identity and solve her birth parents' murders.

Scotsman Cullen Montgomery, a San Francisco-bound lawyer who resembles the ghost who has haunted Kit since childhood, helps her join a wagon train heading west. More dangerous than the river crossings, bad water, and disease encountered on the trail is Cullen's determination to expose her lies and uncover the source of her unusual knowledge and lifesaving powers.

Kit is convinced that if she can survive the perilous journey and Cullen's accusations, as well as thwart his attempts to seduce her, she might solve the mystery of her heritage and return home without leaving her heart on the other side of time.

I enjoyed this story due to the content but extremely disappointed with the narrator.
Extreme American accent, cold and rather like a computer. The only parts she read well was the Scottish accents, the rest was awful.

Great story but narrator is awful

The narration is not really to my liking. the Fake American Accent is very annoying. The story seems to resemble Outlander. Wish Davina Porter had narrated this. Not sure if i will listen to the other books

Great Story... but

I was initially excited but as the story went on I lost interest. Slow and dull in parts. I eventually gave up without finishing.
The narrator doesn’t help sound a bored as I was.

Doesn’t live up to the potential

Sadly I couldn't finish this book. The storyline has potential but the characters lack vitality/emotion and the narrator does not do them any favors.

Dull, wooden
