THE SOUND OF GRAVEL

Author:  Ruth Wariner
Genre:  Memoir, Standalone
Published:  2016
Personal Rating:  4.25/5 (very good +)
Format/Narrator:  Audiobook/Ruth Wariner
Yearly Count:  49


Ruth, a child of polygamy, tells her coming-of-age story.

This was quite a story.  It reminded me of The Glass Castle (Walls); however, I wish I read this book.  If the author read like she talked in her book trailer, all would have been well.  But, she didn't.  :(  Needless to say, I kept listening and the story took over.  Ruth's love of her family is prevalent and her determination to be applauded.  May her life be filled with joy and peace.

  2. I loved The Glass Castle you've piqued my interest, even if it is polygamy.

    1. Stacybuckeye ~ This will be a winner for you. I strongly suggest that you READ it, though. The audio did not do the story justice.
