HIDEAWAY

Narrator January LaVoy brings a richly layered performance to a story about a Hollywood kidnapping. At age 10, Caitlyn Sullivan is taken from her family home. She escapes and seeks refuge at a local farm, where she is found by Dillon Cooper. As the story takes Caitlyn and Dillon from childhood to their teen years and to adulthood, LaVoy successfully transitions her voice, adding more maturity at each stage. She expertly handles the large cast of multigenerational characters, using accents ranging from the Irish lilt of Caitlyn's great-grandmother to the Southern drawl of Caitlyn's grandmother. She also captures the strident tones of Caitlyn's mother. Adding an additional level of enjoyment is LaVoy's depiction of Caitlyn's profession: voice actress. How fun!
