Julia Whelan brings her sultry range to the tempestuous Storm siblings as they gather to grieve their father, a tech genius. Five years before Franklin Storm's unexpected death, Alice was exiled for defying both her father and Storm Industries. Called home, she's stunned to learn that she and her siblings are now part of an inheritance game that requires Alice's presence on the family estate, off the coast of Rhode Island. Adding to the complications is a stranger Alice shared one night with before heading home, a man who turns out to be the executor of her father's game. Portraying characters of both genders, various ages, and multiple accents, Whelan showcases why she is one of listeners' favorite narrators.

In this sequel to Terms of Endearment, Larry McMurtry brings back Aurora Greenway, who is now dealing with her various lovers and friends plus three grown grandchildren with a variety of problems. He presents a tale of growing up and growing old which is bittersweet and funny. Narrator Ivey uses a slight east Texas accent which authenticates the setting of the story. Each character's voice has a slightly different inflection to differentiate it. It all works together well. As you listen, you feel as if you might actually be in Houston sharing the lives of these resilient and refreshing people.

To Fred Fairly, a Cambridge Fellow, truth is everything. What then is the truth about the woman he finds beside him when he awakens? English conventions and mores of 1912 Cambridge are central to this period piece. Callow's wonderful voice and interpretation make accents, personalities and gender come alive, and help make sense of the frequent time and character shifts. His delivery enhances a most clever "choose your own ending."
