Jacquelyn Mitchard's first novel, The Deep End of the Ocean (Viking, 1996), launched Oprah's Book Club and became a hugh international bestseller, hitting #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and selling over three million combined copies. Mitchard has appeared on the Today show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, MSNBC, and numerous other local and national television and radio programs. She is a contributing editor for ParentingĀ(tm) magazine and writes a weekly syndicated column which appears in more than 100 newspapers across the country.

Veronica "Ronnie" Swan, a sheltered Mormon girl, is yanked into the larger world by the tragedy that begins this audiobook: the brutal murder of her two younger sisters. What follows is a cohesive, often brilliantly written, story of revenge, redemption, and peace, a story from which one cannot look away. Hope Davis's performance is spot-on as her voice reveals Ronnie's innocence and earnestness, maintaining consistency as the years pass. While some of the adult dialogue sounds overly dramatic, that's how it's written. Further, this quality clarifies to the listener that the story's true strength lies in Veronica's voice. Ronnie's emotional and personal journey is timeless, and Davis's vocal portrayal of her growth is ideal. L.B.F. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
