I AM THE CAGE

by | Read by Allison Sweet Grant

Young Adult Ages 12+ • 7.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2025

Allison Sweet Grant portrays 19-year-old Elisabeth Amos, who has fled her home to live quietly in an isolated Wisconsin town. The audiobook moves back and forth in time. Surviving brutal medical procedures done to lengthen Elisabeth's bones takes place at home, and enduring a snowstorm and power outage takes place in Wisconsin. Time shifts are differentiated through chapter titles, rather than through narration. Grant's narration, which can be flat at times, shows strength when it comes to emotive dialogue that occurs as Elisabeth falls in love with her new neighbor, Sheriff Noah. Disgust at her mother's lack of intervention amid medical tortures dominates Elisabeth's memories. The lyricism of the writing unites the two time periods and aids in the listener's understanding of Elisabeth's poetic sensibilities.
