JUDGE'S GIRLS

A stellar narration by Theresa Buchheister, Lori Gardner, and Machelle Williams transcends this deeply emotional story of mutual support after a loved one passes away. The late Judge Donaldson designates three women in his family to divide his assets--if they agree to live together at the family lake house. Once they move in, resentment ensues between Jeanie, Donaldson's second wife, and Maya, his adult daughter. In addition, Jeanie copes with life after her scandalous marriage, Maya struggles to navigate her career as a lawyer, and Ryder, the young stepdaughter, has problems at school. The three narrators offer authentic-sounding depictions of petty fights, rock- bottom moments, scenes of forgiveness, and personal growth. Expertly narrated, this is a compelling story of a family coming together. G.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2021]
