WHEN ALL BALLS DROP The Upside of Losing Everything

Heidi Siefkas's spirited delivery belies the horror of her life after a huge tree limb crashes down and severely injures her. This happens the day after she discovers her husband is cheating on her. Siefkas movingly conveys her efforts to cope with physical pain and the emotional traumas of the breakup of her marriage and having to leave the job she loved. She deftly depicts her acrimoniously divorced parents as they unite to help her adjust to wearing a "cage" as her back heals. Listeners will accompany her as she visits her primary doctor, who is excellent but has NO bedside manner, and will cheer when her physical therapist says, "I am captain of the ship, and you WILL heal."
