HATTIE EVER AFTER

In this sequel, Hattie joins a theater troupe for a chance to get to San Francisco and follow her dream of becoming a reporter. Narrator Kirsten Potter gives Hattie the right mix of practicality and pluck as she attempts to figure out life in the big city while also sorting out her feelings for Charlie, who is back home after his service in WWI and ready to get married. Hattie's troubles are relatable in any era, and Potter makes them even more so with her performance. Listeners will feel emotions right along with Hattie as she marvels at new sights and sounds and steels herself to take on challenges. A.F. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2013]
