Ellen Foster - Ellen Foster, Bk 1 - Audio CD - Unabridged Author:Kaye Gibbons, Ruth Ann Phimister (Narrator) Powerful yet subtle, sophisticated yet simple, Kaye Gibbons' award-winning first novel has appeared on best-seller lists and earned major attention as an Oprah's Book Club selection. Her writing, although unique and refreshingly original, has been compared to that of William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor. — "When I was lit... more »tle I would think of ways to kill my daddy. I would figure out this or that way and run it down through my head until it got easy." Growing up in a small Southern town, 11-year-old Ellen has already learned the world's most difficult lesson: life is unfair. Abused by her drunken father and her cruel grandmother, she is driven by desperation and loneliness to find a safe place to live.
Young Ellen Foster will deeply touch listeners with her innocence, courage, and integrity. Narrator Ruth Ann Phimister beautifully captures the essence of an indomitable young character whose story will both break your heart and restore your faith in humanity.
