Barn Cat: Digitally narrated using a synthesized voice

Written by Kyoko Mori

Narrated by Kellie Mitchell (Female Synthesized Voice)

This recording has been digitally produced, by DeepZen Limited, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. DeepZen uses Emotive Speech Technology to create digital narrations that offer a similar listening experience to human narration.

A young girl leaves Tokyo with her mother in 1979, carrying her pink suitcase to a new home, a new father and sister, on a dairy farm in Wisconsin.  Thirty-three years later, her mother's belongings are found packed into boxes, her furniture draped in white sheets.  Without so much as a note, she has left the two sisters connected by history, by some idea of family, to look for her.  What happens when people lose their way home?  Like a little barn cat, they grab onto a second family. . . and start again.
