Savannah "Sav" Henry is almost the person she wants to be, or at least she's getting closer. It’s the second semester of her sophomore year. She’s finally come out as bisexual, is making friends with the other queers in her dorm, and has just about recovered from her disastrous first queer “situationship.” She is cautiously optimistic that her life is about to begin.

Sharing a Journey
Revisado: 09-27-23
My adult daughter who read “Old Enough” over the summer subtly asked me to read or listen. So much of Savannah’s challenging, often heartbreaking journey of healing mirrors my daughter’s to the extent that she (my daughter) called me three years after her rape. It still breaks my heart for her that she wasn’t able to make that call for so long. The assault she endured was almost exactly the same circumstances as well. This book isn’t just for survivors and those discovering who they are, but for parents like me. This book was a vehicle in which my daughter was able to truly tell me her story with such rawness and truth. Many thanks to Haley for having the courage to write “Old Enough” and for helping survivors and people who love these survivors.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

This is one of my favorite listens. Elizabeth Zott is uncompromising and knows who she is. We need more Elizabeth Zotts in the world. No doubt, I will listen again.

Shuggie’s mother Agnes walks a wayward path: She is Shuggie’s guiding light but a burden for him and his siblings. She dreams of a house with its own front door while she flicks through the pages of the Freemans catalogue, ordering a little happiness on credit, anything to brighten up her grey life. Married to a philandering taxi-driver husband, Agnes keeps her pride by looking good - her beehive, make-up, and pearly-white false teeth offer a glamourous image of a Glaswegian Elizabeth Taylor.

This is a beautifully crafted story that encompasses poverty, addiction, unconditional love for a parent and hope.

In this beautiful, close-to-the bone account, Jennifer Grey takes listeners on a vivid tour of the experiences that have shaped her, from her childhood as the daughter of Broadway and film legend Joel Grey, to the surprise hit with Patrick Swayze that made her America’s sweetheart, to her inspiring season eleven win on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

Meet married couple Chris and Marty. At midlife, they unexpectedly find themselves weighing the responsibility of parenthood against the possibility of one more grand adventure. After securing care for their 12-year-old son, they set off to undertake one of the hardest challenges on the planet: Ski 570 miles from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole. With no guide or resupply. Riveting and inspiring, The Expedition is about the power of family and community, the adventurous spirit that dwells within us all, and breaking through to feel fully alive.

Living & Loving Life!
Revisado: 11-30-21
I’m so thrilled that Chris shared her amazing adventure with Marty skiing, unsupported in Antarctica. Meeting on Denali was the beginning of this couple’s dedication and discipline in living life to the fullest. There is no doubt that Chris and Marty, while spending time training and constantly challenging their bodies, love their son and place their family as a priority. They are truly amazing human beings. I like that Chris shares their vulnerable moments (never weak moments in my book) with us. As Chris describes, even though she and Marty are pushing their bodies and minds to the max, they need their community of supporters to help them complete their goal to ski to the pole. I also like that the listener/reader never is made to feel less than Chris and Marty. I applaud Chris for her honesty and strength. While listening, I got choked up several times and loved, in a small way, sharing The Expedition with The Fagans!

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

Amazing truth
Revisado: 03-15-19
Bryan Stevenson’s journey thus far has opened my eyes to the sickening problems in our judicial system. As I’m about to completely give up hope, I am reminded by the work he and those at EJI do. We need about a million Bryans!
