The Voice We Find
Failed Broadway performer Sophie Wilder returns to California and takes a side job narrating audiobooks while working at her family's winery. Her reluctant sound engineer, August Tate, is trying to keep his studio afloat while raising a teenage sister whose degenerative hearing loss has changed their future. Sophie's bond with the girl and her creative connection with August bring buried questions of faith and responsibility to the surface. This contemporary romance mixes the audiobook world, family caregiving, artistic reinvention, and two people learning to listen beyond what is spoken.
