Audiobook help

I need some help picking out an audiobook for a car trip with my grandmother.  I would like to find an audiobook because if we don't I am fairly certain we will listen to praise and worship music the entire time, and while there is nothing wrong with praise and worship music, I just don't want to listen to it for 5 hours straight.  I need something that my sweet, delicate, extremely Southern Baptist grandmother would enjoy and not be horrified to listen to, which nixes just about anything I currently have in my Audible account.  I am looking for an audio with no cursing, no sex, no adultery, no violence, and definitely nothing too sad.  The purpose of this trip is to help take her mind off of my grandaddy who recently moved into a nursing home full time because of his dementia and it's been really hard on her.  So if we could keep it fairly light, that would be nice.

So, any suggestions?

  • I am looking into the series now.  Thanks @WillyH19!

    I'm sad for my grandparents, but he is so much better off where he is now.  The hardest part to me is that my grandmother has never lived alone and they were married at 17, so it's a huge adjustment for her.

  • Hattie Big Sky and Hattie Ever After by Kirby Larson. They are YA/middle grade historical fiction so it's clean. My mom really liked them too.

  • Anne of Green Gables is a great idea!  We used to watch the movies with her growing up.  Thanks @packfan20!
