My Grandmother's Treasure (American Storytelling)

Rating:
Summary: No better story teller
Review: I heard Ms. Torrence tell the story of her grandmother's apron on NPR recently (from "My Grandmother's Treasure") and I was mesmerized. Her rich voice, direct and meaningful language, and the story itself seen from her childhood perspective but told from her adult viewpoint and understanding all blended to create a delicious story-telling experience for me. Jackie, if you read this, thank you for taking the time and energy to tell your stories on tape so that others like me could hear and treasure them even as we ourselves look back on our own long roads in this life.
