Special adaptors to allow these tapes to be played on any cassette player are available through the publisher or some US retail electronics stores.<br/> About the Author <br/>Nora Roberts is the number-one New York Times-bestselling author of more than 190 novels, including The Search, Black Hills, Tribute, High Noon, and many more.

The story easily stands on its own. David Stuart continues his performance, maintaining the clear characterizations begun in the earlier book. His women are believable and intelligent, his children convincing and well developed. Stuart gives each of the Quinn brothers a distinct dialect, reflecting both their shared heritage and their disparate lifestyles. His dignified handling of the story's emotional moments brings a tear to the eye without cloying overacting. His romps through the book's humorous episodes are entertaining, as well. R.P.L.
