BACK IN THE BURBS Stuck in the Burbs, Book 1

Using her versatile narration style and husky voice, Sophie Amoss traces Mallory's journey from victimized wife to self-possessed law office manager. Amoss delivers an immersive first-person storytelling experience as Mallory leaves New York for New Jersey, where she plans to help clean out the home of her Aunt Maggie, a hoarder. As Mallory works with Maggie's neighbor, Nick, to clear out countless old "TV Guides" and wine corks, Amoss's voice for her changes from sad and passive to self-confident and assertive. Family members and friends have varied voices, and Nick's deep pitch and softer tone highlight his caring personality. Amoss delivers the audiobook's humor with excellent timing, and her fine narration culminates with Maggie's newfound independence. S.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2021]
