A Day of Fate
Edward P. Roe
Read by LikeManyWaters
A night editor at a New York paper escapes to the country to avoid a nervous breakdown. Providence lands him in the middle of a loving Quaker family in time to save them from being roasted by a lightning strike. Then what could be more natural than falling in love with a girl already engaged to someone else? Truly, it was a Day of Fate for him. "Some shallow story of deep love." (Shakespeare) - Summary by LikeManyWaters (10 hr 49 min)

Reviews
good story
A LibriVox Listener
Good story. Reader does well, but voice is maintained at too high of pitch to be comfortable to listen to for a long time.
Dream and reality
Ancient Race
I almost put it down in the first 3 chapters, but the outcome was much different than the young man's silly daydream.

Some people should not read aloud.
