This beautiful piece moved me to tears.

Elegantly woven, and not only without narration, it was so smooth and so compelling that I didn't even think about where any of the cuts or transitions were. Evocatively captures a capsule of this woman's busy life, with just enough snatches to get a strong feel for her, and want to know more. I've been avidly listening to PRX for 5 years, and this piece stands out in my memory as among the very few best. It should be used to teach documentary radio.
