MISS PEARLY'S GIRLS

Narrator Patricia R. Floyd's honeyed voice offers exactly the right warmth for this family saga about siblings with secrets and the powerful woman who raised them. Something more sinister than the usual family resentments have kept the Bell sisters estranged for many years. Mama Pearly's sudden illness forces Maxine to contact the others to come home. Identical twins Stella and Star and youngest sister Leslie reluctantly travel home. As each sister's story unfolds, Floyd captures her essence with only slight vocal changes. Her male voices are full and round, and while the men in this novel seem too good to be true, Floyd is convincing. As deeply hidden secrets make their way to the surface, Floyd's mellifluous voice and honest performance will captivate listeners. S.J.H.
