THIS MATTER OF MARRIAGE

While Parker's chirpingly cheerful voice would not work for all types of books, it's perfect for relaying the story of Hallie, who falls into disaster after disaster in the dating game as she tries to find the perfect husband who just might be right under her nose. Short and sweet, this satisfying contemporary romance is read in a voice that really helps limn the character of Hallie. The consistently well-executed production, combined with the narrator who makes the Hallie spring to life, gives the listener a pleasant way to wile away a few hours.
