Editorial Reviews

JUN/JUL 08 - AudioFile

Shortly after Summer Ledoux marries the man of her dreams, her supermodel sister, Misa, moves back to New Orleans, and troubles soon follow. Jarrett has given this novel about redemption and reconciliation a decidedly Christian world view. Sharon Washington has a keen ear for the voices of contemporary African-Americans. But the major failing of this production is that the story takes place in Louisiana—New Orleans to be exact—and there is nary a hint of an appropriate accent. An audiobook should echo, or surpass, what the listener's cerebral ear interprets as the narrative voice. Here the narrator presents New York while the novel itself calls for “N’Awlins.” P.R. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
