For both Zane and Darby, their small town roots hold a terrible secret. Now, decades later, they've come together to build a new life. But will the past set them free or pull them under? Find out in Under Currents from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts. Zane Bigelow grew up in a beautiful, perfectly kept house in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Strangers and even Zane’s own aunt across the lake see his parents as a successful surgeon and his stylish wife, making appearances at their children’s ballet recitals and baseball games. Only Zane and his sister know the truth, until one brutal night finally reveals cracks in the facade, and Zane escapes for college without a thought of looking back... Years later, Zane returns to his hometown determined to reconnect with the place and people that mean so much to him, despite the painful memories. As he resumes life in the colorful town, he meets a gifted landscape artist named Darby, who is on the run from ghosts of her own. Together they will have to teach each other what it means to face the past, and stand up for the ones they love. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press

“January LaVoy gives a gripping performance of contrasting personalities and voices…Zane and his sister’s voices as adults sound deeper and self-assured, but LaVoy stays true to the cadences and personalities first introduced. Zane’s father projects a confidence and persuasive tone to outsiders and a quiet coldness that surges into yelling at home. LaVoy gives Darby a satisfying Yankee accent and plucky demeanor that contrast with Zane’s warm Southern drawl.”
