Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
A Family Affair: Christmas: A Small Town Family Saga
Mary Campisi · 2016
🎙 Narrated by Don Warrick
54/100
👎 Skip It
A cozy holiday visit to Magdalena with a sweet 'home is where you're loved' message, but it's a lighter, feel-good entry that mostly pays off for readers already invested in the ensemble cast. Nothing objectionable here safety-wise, it's just not a particularly memorable stand-alone listen. Don Warrick's narration is steady and matches the tone.
