THE TRUTH ACCORDING TO EMBER

Siena East--a Choctaw writer, comedian, and actor--performs this romance novel from debut Chickasaw author Danica Nava. After sending out countless job applications with few responses, Ember Lee Cardinal decides to exaggerate her work experience on her next application. She lands the job and meets her new co-worker, Danuwoa Colson, the only other Native person at her new office and the most handsome man she's ever seen. With strong comedic timing, East's narration enhances Ember and Danuwoa's witty banter. East also captures the couple's intimate moments as they fall in love and try to hide their whirlwind romance from their co-workers. The author's delightful storytelling and East's ear for dialogue make for an all- around enjoyable listen. K.D.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2024]
