AFTER LIFE

Three versatile narrators portray nine characters who are involved with the story of 17-year-old Amber, who discovers that she's been dead for seven years and that all the relationships she once knew have fractured. Gail Shalan depicts Amber's emotions--horror at her mother's response to her death, shock at her parents' failed marriage, surprise that her sister is now her age, and determination to become a better person. Jade Wheeler portrays the other female characters, and Andrew Andersen does the same for the men. They differentiate teens and adults, distinguish the times in which scenes take place, and give a sense of healing at the story's end. S.W. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2025]
