Just Rewards (Emma Harte Series #6) » (Abridged - 4 cds, 5 hours)

Barbara Taylor Bradford started her writing career in the 1960s as a journalist who felt destined to become "a hard-bitten reporter in a dirty trenchcoat." However, her breakout bestseller, A Woman of Substance (1979), sparked her prolific career as the author of thrilling novels of romance and intrigue.

"The Harte saga is as much a force of nature as a work of fiction…the issues at stake still compel readers after 25 years. Bradford understood early on readers' hunger for depictions of women who are strong and powerful and whose values embrace family. A quarter-century ago, Emma Harte crossed the no-woman's-land that once divided family and business, and now generations of readers consider her a role model in their own lives."

The sequel to EMMA'S SECRET continues the Harte family saga, which began with Emma Harte in WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE. Now three generations of Harte women, bound by danger, loyalties, and family secrets, join together against an unidentified enemy. Kate Burton captures the essence of each character with a variety of accents, shifting diction, and varying vocal tones. Her versatile range is a solid fit for characters of either gender and varying ages, and she is exceptional depicting children. Burton's delivery and timing are impeccable. The only flaw is the story's multiplicity of characters, which makes the plot difficult to follow. G.D.W. AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright AudioFile, Portland, Maine
