About this listen

This funny mother-daughter caper story stars seventy-three-year-old, overweight former beauty, Aurora, who is a perpetually broke, eccentric divorcee living in the wealthy enclave of Marin County. When Aurora discovers her father's widow has died, she decides to drive to Los Angeles to see if this means money for her.

Enter Aurora's high-strung and estranged daughter, forty-three-year-old Leyla, who spends her days keeping up with the other Marin Uber moms, manically pursuing perfection. When she overhears a conversation and suspects her husband is embarking on an affair, she decides to sneak into a Cannabis business conference he is attending, also in LA, to spy on him.

Aurora and Leyla's separate quests simultaneously intersect and enmesh in Los Angeles over the course of a weekend provoking hijinks and chaos, and yes, even some healing.

This tale of intergenerational miscommunication and mishap was also a wonderful peek into Ladino culture and language.
Jess Moran delivered a connected performance throughout Rosenberg‘s believably incredible story. Moran imbued the colourful characters with specific personalities and allowed us to enjoy the distinct characteristics of each.
The mother daughter relationship was beautifully relatable and the middle age, coming of age was greatly enjoyed. A clever and well developed story delivered with the drive and energy that took us home

An entertaining middle age, coming of age
