But I wanted an audio book and this one was easy to get, so I grabbed it.Imagine my surprise. The adventure of her travel, being found by Peter and the adventure into the new land was fascinating. I liked learning about the new rules and the town, the people and their lives. The fact that she was a midwife was an interesting twist
