THE VINEYARD AT PAINTED MOON

Narrator Tanya Eby takes the listener on Mackenzie Dienes's emotional journey as her life changes when she and her husband decide to divorce. Mackenzie is a winemaker at her husband's family winery and has to strike out on her own when her marriage ends. Eby's expressive voice conveys Mackenzie's stress at the changes in her life. Her mother-in-law is quite obnoxious, and her strident tone allows the listener to vividly picture her. In contrast, Four, Mackenzie's hippie-like sister-in-law, has a light and airy voice that perfectly matches her personality. Eby guides listeners as Mackenzie moves beyond her feelings of loss to the joy she experiences as she takes on the challenge of buying her own winery.
