Review of Stories1st: Elizabeth and Her Family

Without mentioning the physical space inhabited by eleven-year-old Elizabeth Herrera, Elizabeth and producer Dmae Robert quickly transport listeners to a home bustling with youthful energy. Sometimes the piece just sounds like kids messing around with a microphone, but there is a lot beneath the surface in this short and sweet story. Wise beyond her years Elizabeth introduces listeners to her dancing siblings, and shares her pride in her mother's study habits. The most poignant moment comes when Elizabeth interviews her pregnant seventeen-year-old sister.
