This will be McNamee's first time performing
the role of Jerusha, and she is quite enthusi-
astic about it, the release notes. "[Jerusha's]
humor, stubbornness, love of life and perse-
verance against all odds [place] her alongside
the great female literary characters of Jo
March and Anne of Green Gables," McNamee
says in the release.
