About this audiobook
The Saturday Review of Literature proclaims The Edge of Time is "a fundamentally honest and literate telling of one of the lesser-known chapters in the American saga." Revered by readers for over 50 years, Loula Grace Erdman tells the story of a young couple settling in the Texas Panhandle in the 1800s. "Miss Erdman's story ... shows imagination touched with grace, the ability to reconstruct a place and a time, and genuine admiration for the people, particularly the women."-Christian Science Monitor

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When Bethany Fulton married Wade Cameron she had no idea what she was getting herself into. As a child she had loved Wade from afar for as long as she could remember. Coming of age, she continued to love him despite the fact he preferred her pretty cousin, Rosemary. After Rosemary rejects Wade for a wealthier suitor Wade takes Bethany instead; takes her to be his wife and to accompany him to the wild unknowns of Texas. Bethany's first hurdle is understanding where she is going for she can't picture a house without running water or real glass windows; she can't picture a landscape without trees. Bethany's second and bigger hurdle is internal - getting over the fact she is Wade's second choice for marriage. The memory of Rosemary hangs over everything, especially in the beginning when Wade had no way of telling his far-off Texan neighbors he had married a different girl. More than that the land teaches Bethany to lose her naive ways.Edge of Time is the kind of simple story. The title comes from Wade's realization they arrived too late in Texas to be ranchers and too early to be farmers. They arrived "on the edge of time" (p 232).
