As a parent, I couldn’t help but notice how a child’s life can go south so fast, made worse by the environment in which they are raised. I was appalled by the majority of the foster care depicted in this book. There must be some special hot hell for such care givers.
While Jarvis must have been a nightmare child to care for, one can’t help but think that prison might have been his best place to keep him away from all the crime and potentially being killed on the street. Sad that he ended up being framed for a crime he didn’t commit. Reminds me of Anthony Hintons story. There’s almost no justice for black men in America. What a shame!

I loved this story and connected with it! From the uprooting of family from one country to another with teens in tow, to finding some form of sanity in the most unexpected situations. Not because Mkiwa is Kenyan like me, but mostly because the career and social disruption is so relatable. I love how this story is written and the orator is phenomenal.

Well done team!

I watched the hunger games with my kids and they told me that the book was much better. It certainly is so so much better. I couldn’t wait to get into the car to listen as I sat it Nairobi traffic. The narration is sooooooo soooooo good! Electrifying even. Wow! Now let me look for the next one

For some reason the first part took a while to warm me up but that soon caught up. I loved how the story transported me to Ethiopia and other countries in the region including my homeland, Kenya.
Well researched. Well written (even if it made me cry a few times). Well delivered.

Doctors are people too! That was the big lesson from this book.
They make mistakes just like everyone else does. The good ones (not quacks or those with inflated egos) carry a lot of guilt when things go wrong. Yet we forget all this when a medical procedure is botched or when we lose a loved one at the operating table.
Thanks for this book Dr Gawande. I'll listen to it again in future!

I really struggled to get through this book.
While the narration is ultra good (thanks Laurence Fishburne), the book itself didn't do it for me. It's more like a show and tell story that went on for a tard too long.

David's childhood is heartbreaking! That did not stop him from dreaming and going after his dreams. Zero excuses. If anything, the pain was like his fuel to keep charging forward. He's totally unbreakable. I would have wanted to listen to it with my teenage kids but the cursing is on full throttle - adults only. lol. Hopefully, David shall have a kids' version released real soon!
The podcasts were unmatched. Made listening to it on audible worth it.
Downside - there's lots of self work that would benefit from an accompanying PDF.

I couldn't wait for my day to open up to listen to this book. Traffic has never been so good!
I connected with Harry's pain on losing his Mum, Princess Diana. So raw!
I loved the complete daring honesty to share his story...including his recklessness along the way..wow! I know the Royals must be in shock about his audacity. Yet I can imagine how much healing he got in the process. Well done Prince Harry!

I felt Viola's pain, fears, joy, determination, healing, freedom...name it..I felt it as she read this book with such authentic emotion. I'm so happy that she has found peace despite her chaotic and traumatic childhood. Such grit really to be able to have gotten out and find her healing space. Thanks for sharing your journey Viola. Indeed looking at many celebrities, it is easy to forget the hard work that has gotten them there.

I found the story chilling. Blood curdling even. I'm just glad its fictional otherwise one can get scared of having kids. Luckily I already have mine.
