Narrators Stephanie Willing and Pete Cross transform themselves into a father-daughter duo who are searching for healing in a time of loss. Dave, who has Asperger’s, and his 15-year-old daughter, Chloe, are meandering through their lives without their late wife/mother, Jana. As Dave reminisces about his life, Chloe explores a new relationship with classmate Edie. Both Cross and Willing are convincing as they portray Dave and Chloe’s uncertainty about how to become the best father or daughter to each other. The bond between them sounds real and charming. Listeners will hunger for more healing and direction as Dave and Chloe aimlessly, yet hopefully, try to fulfill their new roles. A beautiful performance on grief and love. G.M.
