RIVER OF HEAVEN

As RIVER OF HEAVEN unfolds, author Lee Martin reveals the aged Sam Brady's life by giving us brief glimpses of his past.

Morey's ability to create characters is seamless, thereby allowing listeners' attention to be fully engaged by the drama unfolding. Most people have decisions in their past they either wish they had made, or wish they had not. In the end we are left with the consequences, the final act.
