THE LOST TICKET

Sampson's story of a chance encounter on the #88 bus in London in 1962 sends Frank on a sixty-year search to thank the girl who changed his life. Katharine Lee McEwan is the narrator and the voice of Frank and his circle of friends. Frank is open and friendly as he searches for "his girl" and gathers new friends even as his dementia grows. Dylan is gruff with strangers, but his basic compassion and kindness shine through. Libby, hurt and lost, is on the rebound from a ten-year relationship that has ended, but she finds new purpose and confidence as she develops a plan to find the girl Frank is searching for. Helen Lloyd, as Peggy, has an inviting lilt as her story adds a surprising twist to Frank's. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2023]
