Reviewer: Lindy Greaves - December 11, 2013 Subject: Stepping Heavenward Excellent, thank you for this audio book. The reader, Theresa Downing has gentle, respectful tone and did justice to the book. Her reading did not distract from the content of the book, in fact it added to it. I initially had feared a reader would detract from the richness of the written words but this is very good and so well worth listening to.
Reviewer: Jane Av - June 20, 2013 The reader has a pleasant soft voice which was well suited for the heroine of this story.
Reviewer: Debbie M - April 13, 2013 Subject: Stepping Heavenward This is a slow-paced, well written story that is full of interesting dialogue, which gave me a sense of the ideology of someone in a different era. The story kept my attention very nicely, and I enjoyed the richness of the language. It is definitely written with more formal terms than is commonly used in current day writings. As a result, I found it a refreshing read.
