Jessica is a little girl who used to be an actress till she grew too big. Now she lives on the streets, mostly starving until she meets Mr. Dan'el. Mr. Dan'el gives Jessica his cast-off crusts and warmed-over coffee. Jessica follows Mr. Dan'el to a building where a bunch of people sing and then listen to a man tell them about someone named God. Jessica wants to know who God is so she sneaks into listen every Sunday, hoping she won't be found out. (Summary by Adele de Pignerolles) .

Very nicely done I really enjoyed this great story!
Good wholesome story, audio is poor
EmJ
the reader of one of the main characters, "Daniel" is very hard to understand and he stumbles over words and has poor cadence.
Too fast and some voices difficult to understand.
Val Brown-Beckford
great story
Jon
Very emotional tale with great lessons for us all.
Way too fast

It may be a good story if all words can be understood. Thats a shame.
