There are no words....

This is not an audio book, this is you being dropped into someone's real life struggles. To say you believe the characters is like saying the sun going supernova is a bit bright. Each and every actress/actor is an artist painting with raw emotion across the canvas of this short journey. Each and every one of them deserves the highest accolades for the sweat and pain they poured onto the stage and the director for bringing out their best. Thank you all for giving us so much.

Captivating from start to finish!

This story grips you from scene one to the very end. Your dropped right into the lives of these characters—their hopes, fears, struggles, and survival. Each character shines in this as we get a glimpse of how they trying to thrive in social complexities of today’s world (i.e., persistent systemic racism, divorce and co-parenting, etc)
