This AudioFile Earphones Award-winning recording of Alison Larkin's best-selling autobiographical novel about an adopted English woman who finds her birth parents and herself in the US is followed by an exclusive interview with the author.

"Author and narrator Alison Larkin lights up the earphones with her portrayal of Pippa Dunn, a young English woman who discovers that her birth parents are Americans. Pippa decides to go to America to meet them and ends up finding herself-and true love. Larkin's heartfelt narration conveys Pippa's mixed up feelings of confusion and guilt-as well as the story's humor. Larkin moves delightfully between the various British and American accents. With gentle humor, she pokes fun at both American and British cultures while making it clear she loves them both. This audio experience is like watching a great romantic comedy. Have the tissues ready at the end-the romance is that good!" (AudioFile Magazine - Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award)

In addition to being a best-selling novelist and comedienne, Alison Larkin is also the award-winning narrator of over 200 audiobooks including The Complete Novels of Jane Austen, The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll and Peter Pan and The Inconsiderate Waiter by J. M. Barrie.

Larkin's interview with Grammy Award-winning producer Paul Alan Ruben is followed by "The DNA Song", lyrics by Alison Larkin, music by Gary Schreiner, and sung by Alison Larkin.

I just loved listening to this book. I followed Pippa 's story spellbound, wanting to know what happens. I laughed a lot, felt sad at points and it took me on a journey of new thoughts on adoption, love & life. Thank you Alison Larkin.

Incredibly moving

Having read the story about Pippa and her loving English parents it is such a pleasure to come across the tiny little things in the British culture that are unique like the Scottish dancing, like the biscuits, like the humour of the individual people in the story. Comparing it to the American world and seeing it in the light of being free it is a display of the best of both worlds. Thank you Alison for writing such a witty, joyful and engaging story.

Love the British so much
