DAUGHTERS OF THE BRIDE

Eby navigates the shifting sisterly bonds with sensitivity, exploring old grudges and new common ground. Eby dramatizes Courtney's lingering commitment issues and the final straw in Rachel's shaky marriage. Sienna's tough facade slowly melts as her confidence is tested by her new fiancé. Eby's voices display a myriad of emotions from hurt over abandonment to the snarky sass only a sister can dish out. When the wedding day finally arrives, complete with numerous disasters, listeners will be especially glad they're along for the ride. C.A. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2016]
