HATTIE'S MILL

Hattie decides to retire from nursing and buy a place of her own. In spite of the objections of her dear friend, she falls in love with a mill, its adjoining cottages, and its river location in Dartmouth. The story details the next five years at Hattie's mill, in particular the people who find their lives changed through their friendship with Hattie. June Barrie's voice draws the listener into the story and brings alive the joys and sorrows of the characters. This is a tale of the English countryside, as well as the people who inhabit it, and Barrie describes the area in a way that allows us to visualize it completely.
