Far From the Tree by Virginia Deberry and Donna Grant, read by Fran L. Washington Brilliance Audio, $35.00, ISBN 1-56740-381-6, 8 cassettes approx. 12 hours, unabridged

This audio production of DeBerry and Grant's popular story of a family coming into its own captivates the reader, The pleasant, soothing tone of the reader allows the audience to escape to the world of the story. The reader's use of dialect and inflection bring the characters to life. One feels a part of the story--an innocent bystander watching and waiting for the story to unfold.

This is a great book for audio as the settings vary. With a visit to each city, one learns more about the characters and becomes more eager to reach the climax.
