NIGHTCRAWLING

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Joniece Abbott-Pratt

Fiction • 10.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2022

From this audiobook’s opening line, Joniece Abbott-Pratt’s narration creates an immersive listening experience. She perfectly embodies the first-person perspective of Kiara, a high school dropout who is living with her older brother, Marcus, in a shabby apartment in East Oakland, California. Their father is dead, and their mother is gone, leaving them with only each other. Marcus refuses to get a job while he’s pursuing a career in music, and Abbott-Pratt’s performance perfectly captures Kiara’s anguished decision to become a sex worker to survive. With no job skills, what else can she do? With Abbott-Pratt’s empathetic understanding of the characters, especially in the dialogue she performs, she creates one of the most moving and emotionally intimate audiobooks of the year. K.D.W.
