SOUVENIR

When Dr. Meg Powell is diagnosed with ALS, an incurable disease with a dire prognosis, concern for her 17-year-old daughter, Savannah, forces Meg to make peace with her past and to make courageous decisions about her own future. Her decisions will affect her husband, Brian, and her lost love, Carson McKay. Narrator Jen Cohn's versatile range and skill portray Meg and Savannah with empathy and sensitivity. She delivers textured characterizations of Savannah's teenage struggles and Meg's impossible choices, and matches voice to mood to deliver a story of family tensions, second chances, and youthful choices. Cohn's seamless narration delivers the high emotional pitch of a story that teaches that we all should live as if each day were our last.
