A Moment of Weakness

Barbara Caruso gives a polished and powerful performance of Jade and Tanner's story of sin, forgiveness, and love. With a deft narration Caruso portrays their wholesome childhood friendship and depicts their reunion as young adults with warmth and expectancy. At this point, Tanner's wealthy mother can no longer turn him against Jade because of her alcoholic parents. With authenticity Caruso portrays Tanner and Jade's commitment to Christ and their commitment to purity until marriage. The one night of passion that breaks their vow is followed by a decade-long separation and a life-changing secret. Overall, Caruso achieves a high emotional pitch in this story of lost and found love, complete with scripture. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
