"There's a level of professionalism to Ladd’s performance here that’s rare on the Free Fringe. Her voice has the clarity of a bell and her folksy mannerisms and expressions feel authentic...Tilford’s story is genuinely inspirational" -Rory Ford, Scotsman Newspaper

"Ladd thoroughly embodies these characters, giving them each different physical movements, accents and facial expressions. She skillfully represents the women’s triumphs and frustrations. The script by William Leavengood perfectly weaves vignettes about the children with their caregivers’ emotional reflections, and Ladd’s authentic delivery and loving treatment of the material make for an extremely enjoyable and absorbing performance." -Stephanie Eagan, All About Solo

"Amanda’s performance is kinetic, compelling & compassionate with subtle notes of heart break and Wagnerian spouts of justified rage and regret. Also, She’s incredibly funny!!! There were more than a few spit takes and belly laughs shared among the crowd.
Amanda seamlessly oscillates between these varied emotional frequencies with ease, even when the emotions reach a manic staccato or basso profundo. This is the seamless craftwork of an incredible actor wrapped in a deeply personal and relatable story."-Sean Lynch, Award Winning Writer & Director
