About the book

Sewanee Chester is a former actress who pivoted to narration after a tragic accident scarred her face and ended her film career. While recording a high-profile romance novel, she begins a flirtatious email exchange with a secretive male narrator known only by the pseudonym Brock McNight. As they collaborate remotely, Sewanee balances the demands of her job with the emotional toll of caring for her grandmother, who suffers from dementia. The story focuses on the technical intricacies of the audiobook industry and Sewanee’s struggle to reconcile her past ambitions with her current reality.

This book is for readers who enjoy behind-the-scenes glimpses into creative industries and workplace romances built on intellectual chemistry. People read it to understand the physical and emotional discipline required for voice acting and the complexities of modern dating through digital anonymity. The reader walks away with a perspective on how personal identity shifts after physical trauma and a specific look at the niche world of professional storytelling and audio production.
