PERFECT MATCH

How strong is a mother's love? Reader Nancy Black professionally performs all the voices in this remarkable story of how far a mother will go to protect her child. Her portrayals of two characters, in particular, stand out. Assistant District Attorney Nina Frost has investigated hundreds of cases of child molestation, but when her own child is assaulted, she takes the law into her own hands. Black captures the angst of this character's guilt-ridden conscience. Her other standout performance is that of the abused child, Nathaniel. His rare speech impediment triggers a plot twist, and this and other turns make Picoult's novel a worthwhile read. R.O. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 05/ JAN 06]
