JEZEBEL: THE PREQUEL Jezebel, Book 4

Narrator Janina Edwards connects with listeners, making them see how easily anyone can fall into a terrible cycle that gets passed from one generation to the next. Anabeth loves Wilton, but she chooses to marry Elias because of his higher social status, an action that, as listeners hear, leads to a downward spiral of scheming, deceit, adultery, and, ultimately, heartache for everyone in her life. In her obsession with status, learned from her mother, Anabeth passes her values down to her daughter, Jessie Belle, before experiencing the redemption that comes with both seeking and granting forgiveness. With strong expression for the characters, especially Anabeth in all her facets, Edwards provides a highly effective delivery of this audiobook.
