The cast is superb.

An entertaining comedy

I loved Bella’s childish sense of humor, grandmas brains of steel, Louise’s Humphrey Bogart attitude, and just everybody was very funny! I would recommend this audio to anybody who loves being entertained with comedy and good old drama mixed up into it.

Lost In Yonkers

Absolutely heartbreaking! Doesn’t go the way you think it will. I was not expecting this story to be quite so dynamic. Highly recommended.
