I'm excited to be one of the narrators in the audiobook Tracy Flick Can't Win by Tom Perrotta. The book is a sequel to his acclaimed novel Election. Years after the original novel, Tracy Flick is now working as an assistant principal . Still ambitious but feeling a little stuck and under appreciated in midlife, Tracy gets a jolt of good news when the longtime principal, Jack Weede, abruptly announces his retirement. The cast follows a cast of characters as events unfold within this high school. More information can be found here.
