Once Upon a Summer by Janette Oke; Seasons of the Heart, Book 1; Unabridged MP3 Audio Book; Narrator Marguerite Gavin

“Sure, it’s unusual to have an eighteen-year-old mother when you’re twelve. But when you’re an orphan and she’s your aunt—and the only mother you’ve ever had—well, as I explained, it had worked out real well.

“That’s why I got so riled up when I heard Grandpa and Uncle Charlie talkin’ about findin’ a fella for Auntie Lou!

“You see, somethin’ had to be done! I couldn’t just sit back and watch our special family get broken up. But with Grandpa and Uncle Charlie workin’ so hard to get Auntie Lou married off, I really had my job cut out for me.

“Then, when that poor preacher came along, it really got complicated….

“And maybe you’ll find out what I found out—about the best kind of family, I mean.”
