The Fire Waltz Little Miss Higgins

Welcome to The Fire Waltz, a five episode miniseries presented by Little Miss Higgins. Created with an amazing team of artists, this audio drama is filled with music and a riveting story inspired by a somewhat true tale about Eva Bersay, a potato farmer's daughter. Eva also happens to be great-grandmother to Little Miss Higgins. This is an introduction and land acknowledgement.
