Reviews/Praise
"At less than 1.5 hours, Foster might suggest a quick listen, but readers will want to hit play again (and again) to appreciate McMahon’s mesmerizing nuances that transform a wary child into a cherished daughter. Foster is only Keegan’s second audiobook, but hopefully proves to be a bellwether for more aural adaptations to come." —Booklist Starred Review
