Couldn’t stop listening

Revisado: 01-20-23

This excellently-written and narrated story is unbelievable - except that it’s true. Hard to fathom the hard and hidden lives of these children and women. And difficult to understand the many legal missteps that occurred. Sam Brower’s courage and tenacity is laudable. Highly recommend.

Fascinating and compelling.

Revisado: 05-21-22

Well-written and comprehensive, with very good narration that kept me on the edge of my seat. Rabbi Gordis’ book is an intelligent and honest look at a miraculous story and a tenacious people. Highly recommend.

Beautiful, Compelling True Story....

Revisado: 03-14-20

....and a love story in wartime. It’s the story of a man’s resistance to evil and drive to repent his guilt. I loved it but- I was disgusted by the author’s injection of politics in her afterward which ruined for me the sweet afterglow of her story.

A most captivating story...

Revisado: 09-16-19

...both the story and the narrator had me holding my breath most of the way through. One of the best stories I have ever read. I must compliment the breadth of expression in the narrator’s telling. Her voice is so moving. I will be looking for more books narrated by her and written by this author.

Well-Done, Governor!

Revisado: 08-05-19

I so wish you had been elected! This story was fast-paced and juicy and needed to be told. It was also frustrating to hear that so much sound advice was not followed. Good writing and great to hear it read in Governor Christy’s emphatic style.

Well-written, excellent narration and could not stop listening.

Revisado: 08-18-18

One of the best books I’ve ever read. Shocking and Moving. A deep and tragic story but also, uplifting because there is a vein of acceptance and survival in the people left behind. So many questions were stirred while listening, the biggest one being, How could she? And the ultimate answer was, because she couldn’t help herself.

Haunting and riveting.

Revisado: 06-12-18

The author weaves a truly haunting story populated with believable, multi-dimensional characters who each have layers of complexity and depth. It’s a sad story but hopeful too. I was drawn into this book right from the beginning which is such a gift. You have no idea where it’s going which I loved. I couldn’t stop listening! It’s very well-written and the narration is perfectly-pitched and such a pleasure to listen to. Highly recommend!

Heart-Pounding Read

Revisado: 09-22-17

If you love psychological thrillers, this is a real page-turner and worth your time. Highly recommended for it's taut and emotionally-believable narration of the story. It makes you wonder who is responsible for what and keeps you guessing throughout until the end, which is unexpected but seems believable. Love Lisa Coleman's narration.

My Heart is Full

Revisado: 07-22-16

This touching and honest memoir had me fascinated from the beginning. The blunt openness from both Gloria Vanderbilt and her son, Anderson Cooper was like a message about how to live one's own life...with an open heart, with optimism and with self-determination. It takes courage to tell the story of one's life with this kind of frankness. I want to thank them for a very important conversation, shared with the rest of us.
