WHILE I WAS GONE

Blair Brown's narrative experience and skill shine through this emotionally honest, fully realized story of a woman's past intruding into what she thought was her almost perfect present. Jo Becker, a veterinarian with three adult daughters, is married and deeply in love with Daniel, a pastor. But she has begun to wonder how her life became what it is--is this all? Drawn to a former lover, Jo must face her past and the price of betrayal. Brown conveys the wrenching emotions of the story with apparent ease, maintaining the various characters perfectly. Her deep, rich voice creates a moving listening experience. M.A.M. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 99]
