About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Re-creation of Brian Kent by Harold Bell Wright. Read in English by Warren Kati Brian Kent is a bank clerk who is driven by a variety of circumstances to commit a series of thefts from his employer. Remorseful, drunk, suicidal and on the run, Brian steals a boat and pushes himself into the fast current of a nearby river to bring about an almost certain death. But he washes up in Ozark country and is found by the mountain girl Judy and her friend, the trusting former teacher at the one-room school who is known by everyone as Auntie Sue. Auntie Sue nurses him back to health and gives him a chance to start anew with honest, clean living in the mountains. But Brian’s past soon catches up with him. The Re-creation of Brian Kent is a story of falling, redemption and love interwoven with strong female characters and an inspirational philosophy of life. It was among the top 10 best-selling novels for the years 1919 and 1920. - Summary by Warren Kati
