Timothy Crump's Ward by Horatio Alger (1832 - 1899) .
A poor family is surprised with an infant on their doorstep on New Year’s Eve with a note and monetary support requesting them to raise the child. Eight years later, the child is stolen and the family is put into more trouble trying to find her. This is a story of how love and good morals are reward with a fairy tale “happily ever after” ending. (Summary by Sharon Kilmer)

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

You have such a lovely voice, Sharon. Thanks so much for asking me along to listen. It's going to be interesting to see if Rachel finds a sunnier disposition by the end of the book.
Yeah, it's addictive. I've been here since 2007, although the first years under a different name, and I enjoy it very much. My favorite is listening as DPL, but I also enjoy reading. Editing not so much... Which is why so many of my own recorded chapters sit on my desk top for a long time before getting posted.
I had a wonderful Easter. I hope you did, as well. I'll be away from the computer tomorrow and Thursday, but I'll get caught up with any chapters you post on Friday or Saturday.
