One afternoon in the spring of 1972, a Mack truck sped through a residential intersection of Philadelphia and collided with a station wagon carrying a young girl and her friend on a ride home from school. The accident shattered the girl’s realities and a blanket of silence fell over them until they reconnected at their 20th high school reunion. That conversation set Ellen Blum Barish on a 20-year journey, reflected in seven springs, that reunited her to her past, her self, and what she now understands as faith.

The recording of this book starts at Chapter 2. I checked it against a sample of the book and sure enough - the prologue and Chapter 1 are missing. I returned it.

Viral mom blogger Brooke Binkley tells her painful story about the domestic violence she endured while simultaneously becoming a public figure, and uses her story to highlight the many types of domestic violence that both victims and survivors experience. On the outside, Brooke was the funny vlogger making moms laugh across the world, but behind closed doors, she was experiencing nearly every form of domestic violence that existed.

Frustrating!!
Revisado: 09-24-21
As mentioned by other reviewers, the ends of the chapters were cut short. I have no idea how much is missing, obviously, but this is ridiculous. Why would Audible leave this title up and available when it's clearly not ready for listening? I wanted to return it and for some reason, that wasn't an option at the beginning of Chapter 3. I realize it's only $5 I've wasted but Audible needs to do better.

The story was interesting but the performance was so melodramatic I couldn’t stick with it. It was like a kindergarten teacher reading nursery rhymes. Just couldn’t do it.

June Thomson and Giselle Ross are inextricably linked by two unspeakable acts of evil. On the same day, a few miles apart, their estranged husbands slaughtered their children. The murders were not driven by rage or committed in moments of madness. They were planned and carried out with chilling precision, to inflict the worst pain imaginable.

Amazing story, terrible narration
Revisado: 07-15-21
This was an amazing heartbreaking book. It’s unbelievable that one of these tragedies could occur, much less two on the same day. The writers were are very brave to tell their stories. My heart breaks for them.
I listened to the book on Audible and the narration wasn’t good. The recording equipment was clearly below par but that was tolerable. The narrator, however, made it difficult to listen. It was choppy and so many words were mispronounced that I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was being said.

A remarkable, true story about raising an unusually challenging child, in this case one who struggles to reciprocate love. Unfolding over nearly 20 years, Raising a Thief focuses on the struggles of a Russian orphan Sonya, mistreated early in life and ultimately diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder, and the family that adopted and tried to raise her.

Amazing book
Revisado: 04-09-21
Raising a Thief is a brilliant memoir with a difficult subject. The author has done a fabulous job of laying it bare. Paul and Marina Podolsky adopted a 16-month-old toddler named Sonya from Russia. Over time, they began to realize that something wasn’t quite right with Sonya’s interactions with people. Eventually they understood that Sonya suffers from Reactive Attachment Disorder, a condition that makes it very hard for a child to connect with anyone, including their family.
The book describes their phenomenal efforts to get Sonya the help she needed to become a functioning member of their family and humanity. I admire Paul’s willingness to be completely honest about the frustration and hopelessness of dealing with a child’s psychopathic behavior, including the impact on his marriage, his mildly autistic son, and their friendships. Paul and Marina were also forced to deal with their own childhood traumas in their efforts to help Sonya.
Another reviewer noticed some audio glitches. I also noticed them and reached out to the author. He quickly fixed them - they should no longer be an issue.
I highly recommend this book.
