The Man of the Desert by Grace Livingston Hill (1865 - 1947).

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-man-of-the-desert-by-grace-livingston-hill/
Fleeing from an aggressive suitor, Hazel Radcliffe becomes hopelessly lost in the Arizona desert. Exhausted, she falls unconscious from her pony. Soon she is found by John Brownleigh, a handsome missionary who lives nearby. As he cares for her, a strong and true love grows between them. She was raised in luxury, he was raised to serve God. They part knowing very little about each other except for the love they feel. Back home among her family and friends, Hazel makes an important decision. She will do all she can to change, but can she do so before it's too late? Follow her journey of coming closer to the Lord and finding true love in an unlikely place. (LikeManyWaters)

    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!

I will probably not start this until January b/c of the holidays & I also want to wrap up two more chapters of narration for my DR.
I've been averaging about a chapter a week, so I expect this will be my rate once I start.

April,
I can't DPL but listened to chapter 1. Great start.

You have an extra ‘Grace Livingston Hill’ in the first part of the intro.

"Chapter 1 of The Man of the Desert. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"

Served him right to get thrown off his horse!

I hope you enjoyed your holidays!

Thank you. I’ll fix that next time I upload. :)

Yes, I did. Only I’m ready for the mud to dry up. We’ve had a bit of rain. Hope you did too (have a good holiday that is), 🥳 and Happy New Year!

April,
Are you using a different text source than the PG one listed in the first post? This is the first chapter I followed along with and there are definite differences. :hmm:
