Homeschooling with a MISSION

Our review of Heirloom Audio Productions Captain Bayley’s Heir was filled with adventure from England to the Mississippi River and the California Gold Rush. The main plot keeps you in suspense over the fate of Frank who is desperate to clear his name from false accusation, while several other sub-plots add intrigue to the entire audio adventure. The professional cast, strong soundtrack and effects combined with G.A. Henty’s authorship and Bill Heid’s production team at Heirloom Audio Productions created a riveting story, making our family time unique and fun-filled.

Captain Bayley’s Heir is a wonderful tale set in both England and the American West. Frank, upon being wrongly accused at his school in England, leaves home and flees to America until he can clear his name and restore the trust of his family that he believes has been lost. His steps are Providentially directed as he is introduced to the grace of God on a riverboat along the Mississippi. Your imagination is captivated as his adventures continue through dangerous Indian territories and on into the gold rush country of California. The goodness of the Lord is exciting to behold as clearly each step told in the drama is in His plan for Frank’s life.
