Tyra Kennedy narrates the story of a young woman who is slowly realizing her worth as a professional and as a person. Twenty-something Nora Hughes has been an editorial assistant at Parsons Press for five years and has come to realize that her job is neither emotionally fulfilling nor financially sustainable. Kennedy gently unveils the soul-crushing truth of unfulfilled dreams and looming depression that Nora slowly admits to herself, making it easy to relate and sympathize through the compassion in her delivery. The difficult topics of job satisfaction and mental health that Nora must address are narrated in a calm and thoughtful manner, lessening the stress inherent in these topics. A caring and reassuring performance.

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."
