關於本有聲書

The earth trembled beneath Ruth's feet for a moment, then, all at once, she understood. The light in the attic window, the marked paragraph in the paper, and the death notices—why, yes, the Charles Winfield who had married Abigail Weatherby was Miss Ainslie's lover, and Carl was his son. “He went away!” Miss Ainslie's voice came again to Ruth, when she told her story, with no hint of her lover's name. He went away, and soon afterward, married Abigail Weatherby, but why? Was it love at first sight, or did he believe that his sweetheart was dead? Then Carl was born and the mother died. Twelve years afterward, he followed her—broken hearted. Carl had told her that his father could not bear the smell of lavender nor the sight of any shade of purple—and Miss Ainslie always wore lavender and lived in the scent of it—had he come to shrink from it through remorse...FROM THE BOOKS.

關於作者

In the first decade of the 20th century, Myrtle Reed was a bestselling romance novelist, poet, cook-book writer, Chicago socialite, and philanthropist. From childhood, Myrtle suffered from obesity and avoided the taunts of neighborhood children by remaining indoors, reading and writing. Although not encouraged by her teachers, she pursued a writing career and by 1896 had many stories, articles, and poems published. She self published her first novel, Love Letters of a Musician, and after its initial run of 900 copies sold out quickly, obtained a contract with a well-known publisher. Martha H. Weller has long been a fan of audiobooks, both as a listener and a reader with works on Audible and Librivox. She has a doctorate in French and also has a strong technical background in computer-based training and computer programming. Since her retirement from the University of Illinois (Urbana), she has had time to devote to her other passions as well: crafts and music.
