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.

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.
