The Long Journey by G. L. Gooding is third audiobook in Velma’s story, narrated by Kate Wisniewski. The author continues the story of Velma and her family as World War II changes things for the young family. Love, loss, moves, and family made this story memorable and left me hoping for another book.
The Road to Resilience by G. L. Gooding is the second book in the Velma’s Story narrated by Kate Wisniewski. The story is based on the life of Gooding’s mother, Velma Steele, that began with Where Courage Began. Gooding delivers a piece of rural America spanning from 1924 to the 1930s. Beautifully written, I got swept up in Velma’s story once again.
Based on the early life of author G. L. Gooding’s mother, Where Courage Began tells the story of Velma, her three siblings, and her widowed mother Alice Steele. A touching historical fiction, rich in historic details, shares life in rural Iowa during the Depression Era of the 1920s.
