At first I didn't think I would read this book selected by one of my book club members. I'm glad I changed my mind and read this wonderful adventure. The story touches the heart. It is an adult story of love from the heart with of course many challenges young adult lovers face. The story was pure and has a wonderful ending. I'd like to read more stories from this author.
Worth Reading Again!!

This book was very easy to read. The story lines stay with the characters. There is just enough detail about the story to know that the setting takes place in Kansas City without going into a lot of detail about the city itself. The author has done a wonderful job of developing the character of Brenda without interjecting a lot of her personality traits into Brenda. I look forward to the author's next book.

I just finished "The Father's Voice." Being from Kansas, I can relate to the characters and the environment in which the book took place. The character, Brenda (reminds me of my wife in a lot of ways.)I also envy the patients of Russell. I will recommend the book to all of my friends and relatives.
The Father's Voice is Awesome

I really loved this book. It's a real page turner. The author was so descriptive in her writing that I could identify with the characters. I completed the book in two days because I just couldn't put it down.
Wonderful Debut Title

I just finished The Father's Voice and absolutely loved it. I found the characters interesting and realistic. I enjoyed the plot and the relationship the develops between a high up lawyer (a woman) and a a janitor who owns his own cleaning company and how society sometimes views this as not good for a woman to "step down" to marry someone "below" her. Yet, the main character Branda sees beyond the label to the heart and that's the theme of the book. The hero also works and runs The Father's House, a place where inner city youth find hope and help. I'm looking forward for the next book from this author and hope she doesn't make me wait too long!
