FAMILY BLESSINGS

An unlikely romance between a grieving mother and her dead son's best friend is skillfully narrated by Rush, whose voice falters at just the right moments to convey the characters' complex emotions. Subtle vocal inflections help the listener distinguish between speakers. With no special vocal effects and a slowly twisting plot line, this presentation is strictly for fans of Romance novels or soap operas. Spencer fans will savor the gradually unfolding love story, but other listeners will lose patience when it takes five cassettes to reach the inevitable assignation.
