THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL A True Story of a Dad, a Daughter and the Healing Power of Music

Claudia Church poignantly narrates this perceptive memoir by Tamara Saviano, the daughter of an alcoholic, which focuses on her fascinating multi-decade journey to recovery. Church relates Saviano's tumultuous childhood with the bittersweet naïveté of a girl who is confused by her love for her abusive father, who shares his intense love of country music with her. As a young adult, Saviano struggles with all the people in her life, including an unbearable young husband, but Church's uncomplicated yet tender tone provides an undercurrent of optimism. In time, Saviano finds fulfillment, both in her relationships and in an exhilarating career as a producer in the country music business. The listener will especially relish the delight in Church's voice as Saviano finds her genuine life partner. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2014]
