Editorial Reviews
“It’s impossible to hear Erin Moon’s delivery of this affecting story without experiencing the same emotions as its first-person protagonist…Moon creates a thoroughly likable Bea…Listeners will feel helplessness, panic, and dread in Moon’s breathless, halting delivery. Afterward, Bea becomes more reticent until loved ones and a therapy horse help her recover and find new strength. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
