Great production all around

So well acted and the family dramas so relatable to many I’m sure . Heartfelt performances. Great settings.

Must Listen!!!!

this was absolutely one of the best audible stories ever. a true coming of age story, at 40...better late than never. lol. Wonderful characters!

The accents stood out first

The accents brought me in but the writing kept me hooked. I want to know more about these characters. And gosh don’t we all feel like a Donald from time to time.

Beautiful and touching

A wonderful and unique story told from many perspectives and experiences outlining how enmeshed lives can coexist deeply and shallowly. So many people all suffering together and seeking the same things without knowing they’ve had it all along. Real storytelling

Gorgeous

What a generous, enriching collaborative work of community. My admiration to all the talented people and art-support systems that brought this to us.
