Destiny Faraday makes a point of keeping a distance from her classmates at Hedgebrook Academy. Routine and predictability help her stick to her number-one rule: Don't get attached. But one day, with the crumpling of a calendar page and an odd encounter with a mysterious stranger, routine and predictability are turned on end. Unexpectedly finding a car at their disposal, Destiny and three of her classmates embark on an unauthorized road trip, searching for one fair day - a day where the good guy wins and everything adds up to something just and right. The Miles Between explores the absurdities of life, friendship, and fate - and also the moments of grace and wonder. You never know where a road trip might take you.
On a day that begins with a crumpled calendar page, Destiny Faraday embarks on her quest for one fair day, during which everything works out right and the good guys win. Jeannie Stith accepts the challenge of portraying four teenagers and delivers--with each having a unique voice to match his or her personality. Destiny follows the path to her fair day from her past into the present, and Stith creates a feeling of anticipation, altering her pace as the story slows down in the past and speeds up as events move to the present. Stith captures the range of emotions of a 17-year-old as everything finally comes together and Destiny learns about love, friendship, and saying goodbye. E.N. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
