LOOKING FOR ME

Teddi Overman, born and raised in rural Kentucky, becomes an accomplished furniture restorer and antiques dealer in Charleston. Jenna Lamia performs this journey of self-discovery and love in a melodious Southern accent that suits the characters perfectly. Lamia’s voice becomes that of the adventurous and determined Teddi, as well as differentiating the secondary characters with skill: a toothless old man; a wizened furniture restorer and gruff millionaire; a self-assured book conservator, and many others. Teddi’s journey is intertwined with her search for her missing brother, Josh, who disappeared one day into the Kentucky wilderness. Lamia’s soft tones deliver the luscious descriptions of Kentucky farmland, isolated wilderness, and antique furniture. This memorable story will charm listeners. M.B.K.
