About this listen

Noreen McAuliffe's Come Down in the World, a story about a nineteenth-century logging camp, wears a style so seamless and perfectly matched it feels tailor-made. From the first few lines to the quietly explosive finale, the listener is surrounded with instant authenticity that transports us to a time, place, and situation with stakes so high that most of us need a daring writer to imagine them for us. In the span of a story, the listener feels a novel's worth of atmosphere, urgency, and promise, and meets characters revealed with such precision, you may wonder if you've dreamt of them before.

Julia Fierro, author of Cutting Teeth
