Powerful, epic, and compelling, Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen shines light on a nearly forgotten figure in history. Cathy Williams was born and lived a slave - until the Union army comes and destroys the only world she’s known. Separated from her family, she makes the impossible decision - to fight in the army disguised as a man with the Buffalo Soldiers. With courage and wit, Cathy must not only fight for her survival and freedom in the ultimate man’s world, but never give up on her mission to find her family, and the man she loves.

Best book I've read or listened to in years!
Revisado: 11-29-18
Beautifully written and told story of the only known woman Buffalo Soldier, Cathy Williams. I had the remarkable pleasure of meeting the woman who portrays Cathy Williams for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Then a co-worker told me about this book. I was thrilled to learn that Cathy Williams story was being told. I also had the honor to meet the author and hear her tell her story of how she learned about Cathy Williams--not to give anything away, but she does give an interview at the end of the audible version that you won't want to miss! It is a remarkable read, full of action, hardship, sorrow, and laughter--it is life, Cathy's life.

The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful but slowly going under - maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that Esther's insanity becomes completely real and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

Multi-dimensional, sad, funny, poignant!

Maggie Gyllenhaal's voice, perfect for this reading of The Bell Jar. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I read the book as part of my undergraduate studies, and hearing it, in Maggie's voice, is just how I imagined. I think I will find a hard copy for my collection.
