ONE OF OUR OWN

Narrator A.J. Cook utilizes her considerable acting skills in portraying single mother, divorce lawyer, and suicide hotline volunteer Felicia, whose life was forever changed by her sister's suicide. She is matched in talent by actress Tess Albertson, who portrays Chloe, a teenage rape victim who has called Felicia's help line. Albertson conveys Chloe's humiliation at the horror of the incident having been recorded and shared at her high school. Cook masterfully portrays Felicia's desperation to save Chloe from suicide and avoid potential retaliatory violence while managing her own memories and secrets. The two narrators beautifully deliver this audio-original thriller, which lays out the challenges faced by teenagers and their parents in today's social-media-driven world.
