CATCHING THE LIGHT Four Women, Four Compelling Short Stories

Narrator Petrina Kingham expertly transforms her delivery style for each of these stories depicting relationships between women and men. "The Outing" keeps listeners wondering what will happen next when Kay purchases a piece of art. The conversation between her and a friend lends few clues as they take the picture to the beach. In "Catching the Light," Erin and listeners learn some shocking truths when her Prince Charming viciously attacks her verbally and physically on their honeymoon. The stand-out story is "The New Arrival," in which Kingham sensitively portrays Rachel, who has been humiliated by her boyfriend, a politician, and who is in hiding until the publicity blows over. A persuasive neighbor cajoles her into fostering Lottie, a sweet dog. Listeners will rejoice as Rachel overcomes her sorrow and adopts the dog.
