THE SOMETIMES SISTERS

Narrator Brittany Pressley’s sensitive and graceful performance lays bare the emotions and strengths of these sometimes sisters and an honorable old man. Uncle Zed’s mission to fulfill Granny Annie’s dying wish by reuniting her estranged granddaughters, Dana, Harper, and Tawny, doesn’t happen easily. The story is set in a small lakeside resort in Texas, and the sisters all have Southern drawls, which Pressley presents impeccably with changes in tone and mannerisms that allow listeners to like and envision them. Dana’s sassy preteen daughter, Brooke, heals the hearts of her fractured family, while Zed’s, gravelly tones and calm persona teach the importance of coming together. Long-held secrets are revealed, and love is hard-won in this contemporary love story. S.H.
