Through three timelines and a variety of unforgettable characters, the true history of Sunrise is revealed.
Three narrators bring the town of Sunrise, Wyoming, to life. In 2024, Nina, voiced by Christine Lakin, survives the crash of a small plane and stumbles upon the well-maintained yet abandoned town, and upon a dead body and a manuscript. In 2003, author LT Hawley, voiced by Kristen Sieh, questions the authenticity of the town’s official history. Coll Yard, voiced by Mark Deakins, is the historical preservationist who disputes LT's version of events. In 1902, gunslinger and local legend Anton Vargas returns to Sunrise to make amends. Each narrator transports listeners with their realistic emotional portrayals and deeply layered performances.

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."
