I love Bahni Turpin! She is one of my favorite narrators. She made the story awesome. I was disappointed in the ending. There was now oh s**t moment at the end. Overall it was a good listen.

I loved this story, but hated the way it ended. I wanted so much more. I really hate when stories do this to me. This was well written and you could hear the emotion in the story telling.

You have to read it to understand.

I can only imagine what it's like to be the black family living in the white house. The Obamas have to work twice as hard, just to get half the acceptance. Some people will never know what it means to have dark skin. She handled herself with poise and grace. This book was beautifully written and narrated.

Wasn't sure of this book was going to climax

This was a pretty good read. At first, the book starts off about the NFL and his career. It was a slow start. It wasn't until halfway through the book that I got the meat and potatoes. I really appreciate athletes speaking out and discussing issues close to their hearts. More athletes need to do this. They control the narrative, just like Colin Kaepernick. Good stuff.

Good short read, but I wanted more.

This was a good read, I wanted more context. I never knew about the horrid things police officers were doing in Chicago, but it is a sad long truth. I look forward to reading the other short stories in the series. I have 5 of them.

What a story!!!

Revisado: 09-07-18

I couldn't imagine living in those times!!! You know, I watched this movie and the book is so much better. I don't appreciate the Author using the real Abelene in her book and then having the gaul to not acknowledge or compensate her. Anyhow, the story is phenomenal. I finished is less than a week. I really wished the ending had more of a bang. For a story that is so bold, the ending was very dull.

An interesting and remarkable tale!!!

This book is one of the most brutally honest memoirs I have ever read. The men, the money, the illness...her story is very candid. At times the story was so vivid, it seemed to be make believe. I believed it because she shared details about her life that a normal person simply would be too ashamed to share. Everyone has a story. Hers is worth listening to.

I can TOTALLY relate...OMG

Revisado: 06-11-18

When I tell you this book made made me happy, angry and sad all at the same time...My God!!! Being a woman of color and coming out the hood and going to the suburbs, I can totally relate. Reading this story angered me because the killing of unarmed black men is so real, it makes you want to cry. The narrator was absolutely wonderful and I will be looking for other books she has narrated.

What an ending!!!!

OMG!!! What a story. It was gritty, raw and beautiful! Families should always stick together like the Mcphersons. They are loyal to each other (minus melissa) to the end.

This was a good book.

I like Gabrielle, even though she seems a bit self absorbed. Her story is somewhat relatable. The story jumped around quite a bit, but it was always easy to follow along. Good read.
