American Heroines in Their Own Words

America has a remarkable but largely unknown legacy of courageous, intelligent, Christian women. "Voices from the Past" relates the stories of four of these women in their own words, taken from their letters and diaries. Hear from a brave frontier bride, a visionary colonial daughter, an intrepid immigrant woman, and a wise founding mother, as Victoria Botkin breathes life into the words of real heroines of American history.

Real history, unfiltered by purposely irrelevant textbooks, inspires and fascinates. Read aloud, it becomes accessible to even young children. Enhanced with sound effects and period music.

Titles in this series include:

• Abigail Adams: Her Letters
• The Letterbook of Eliza Lucas Pinckney
• An English Family in the American Wilderness
• A Bride Goes West
• The Frontier Adventures of Elinore Stewart

There are few pleasures in life that combine the satisfaction of a personal story well-written, educational and emotionally satisfying, as an audio book performed by a reader with a mellifluous and compelling voice. Add to that the relative scarcity of surviving non-fiction works by women of the Victorian or pre-Victorian era and you will be doubly pleased with this new series of audio books read by Victoria Botkin. Travel to places and times long past, yet familiar with the themes we recognize— family, hardships, loss, victory, and joy. Enjoyable, profound, and edifying.” —Bill Potter, Historian and Curator, The Circa History Guild

What could be more appealing than the dulcet tones of a cultured woman's voice — the very embodiment of mature and godly femininity — reading the actual words of sturdy women of America's past? These women not only supported their fathers and husbands through uncharted waters, but in the face of eminent peril and probable destruction, remained stalwart and true by relying on the God they loved. Victoria Botkin brings us the drama, sorrow and triumph over adversity these heroic women faced and conquered as she reads portions of their letters and diaries; appropriate period music provides the perfect backdrop for the real stories of these American heroines.” —Becky Morecraft
