Mary Ware's Promised Land, by Annie Fellows Johnston (1863 - 1931)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/mary-wares-promised-land-by-annie-fellows-johnston/
This is the last of the series of Little Colonel Books, and the third featuring Mary Ware. The first eight chapters, continues where we left off in Texas on the way home to the little mining camp of Lone-Rock in Arizona. Mary plans to stay there only as long as it takes to find a position elsewhere, then finds that there may be just as many reasons to stay. Part 2 gives us Betty's wedding in Lloydsboro Valley, and finally a life's mission for Mary Ware: A mission that is for Mary as the King's call of Edryn. However to "keep the tryst" will force her to make a painful decision between her new-found work and the fulfillment of her life's dreams. (Temporary borrowed summary)

11 years in the makings, this is the last book in "The Little Colonel" series.

Note that it separated into two parts. Chapters 1-8 are Part 1, and 9-16 are part 2. Please note how the intro/outro are worded to accommodate this.

Hi Elizabeth,

Welcome to LibriVox! Chapters 2 and 3 are all yours! Please read the first post of this thread carefully.

Please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. It can be your real name, forum name, or a pseudonym ~ whatever you prefer

Also, since this is your first recording, we ask that you send in a 1-minute test recording. This is not an audition, it's just to make sure the sound quality and the recording settings are all right - often things can be improved at the outset that are difficult to fix later. Please go to https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test to find out what to record for your 1-minute test, and how to upload the recording. In the LibriVox Uploader, please select 'tests - tests' from the MC drop-down, and then post your test recording in the Listeners Wanted forum, rather than in this thread - you'll get feedback more quickly there.

Thanks, and have fun!
Maria
