“Narrator Kimberly Farr delivers a subtle, often wry portrayal of Willa Drake…Farr delivers Willa’s interior monologues with a wonderful combination of angst and humor; Peter, son Sean, and each of the Baltimore neighbors have distinct personalities, and Farr is a credible, precocious nine-year-old. Beautifully written and performed.”
