Critiques

excellent reader, poor recording


(4 stars)

Enjoyed this true story but one thing puzzles me. Swiftwater is often admonished for abandoning his children yet their mother is rarely mentioned, she (and her sister) seem to dissappear from the story. I'm left wondering what happened to them, where they went, did she ever come back for her boys ?.....is there a second book

Interesting tale of a mother-in-law that was too nice.
