Audiobook Review: A Daughter’s Inheritance by Tracie Peterson & Judith Miller

“A Daughter’s Inheritance” Book One in The Broadmoor Legacy series written by Tracie Peterson and Judith Miller has been released in audiobook format by Oasis Audio and this is a winner.  There is a reason why children love to hear stories read to them by their parents and they enjoy the reading even more when the parent uses voices to identify the characters; it makes the reading much more enjoyable.  And while we may grow taller we never outgrow the love of having stories told to us in voices and Oasis Audio meets that need.

Grandfather Broadmoor had three sons and they each had, at least, one daughter and it is these three cousins that the series revolves around.  “A Daughter’s Inheritance” introduces us to the Broadmoors and focuses on Fanny who, when the grandfather dies leaves her father’s portion of the inheritance to her.  However she is not of legal age to receive it and her guardianship is entrusted to her uncle Jonas.  Without giving the story away the plot revolves around the disposition of the inheritance and the love story between Fanny and the family boatman, Michael.

It is an injustice to say that Aimee Lilly is the reader of this book.  Aimee Lilly really is the actress who, against a gentle musical background, brings the characters to full life.  There are many characters and Ms. Lilly uses her voice to give unique voice to them all.  I would think that, for a woman, male voices would give her a problem; that is not the case.  Uncle Jonas, Michael, the lawyer and all the other men are instantly recognizable under the skillful acting ability of Ms. Lilly.  Each of the cousins have their own voice as well and it is a marvel that Ms. Lilly was not only able to remember each voice but switch so effortlessly between them.

I know when you hear this audiobook you will be like me eager to hear the next offering in the series.  Because of the incredible vocal acting ability of Aimee Lilly that when the last CD comes to a conclusion you will be left with a feeling of loss as if your best friends went home and left you alone.  But be of good cheer, there are two more books in the series each read by the remarkable Aimee Lilly.
