    Narrator Ginnifer Goodwin expertly matches author Kevin Wilson’s intensity in his singular novel, Now is Not the Time to Panic, which delves into the depths of friendship and art. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss this audiobook that is perfect for anyone who has felt like an outsider and explored their own creative voice to escape the boredom of small-town life. When Frankie receives a phone call threatening to unravel a decades-old secret, she flashes back to the summer she was a smart, introverted girl of 16. That was when she met Zeke, and together they secretly created a work of art to wake up their Tennessee town. A listen to savor.
