Unknown and powerful story not to be missed

Revisado: 07-25-22

I am so grateful to the author for this fantastic and informative history weaving together so many lives. The sad legacy of slavery took so many forms and ruined so many lives and communities. This book elevates the bravery of many people who changed the tide through their courage and sacrifice. I am inspired by the power of individual moral commitments and now so much better informed about how we ever got to the landmark Brown decision. Bravo! A great book and great listen.

What a story of love and generosity

Revisado: 03-06-22

I want to be Arthur Truluv….or maybe Maddie. I completely was taken away by these characters and their lives. The book lifted my heart and I am sorry it is over. Thank you for a lovely listen.

Piercing, challenging, amusing

Revisado: 07-31-20

How can a modern intellectual conceive, write, and deliver such penetrating, painfully accurate, and entertaining analysis of our contemporary life? I don't know - but Dr. McMillan Cottom has done it. From the moment I began listening to this book, I've recommended it to others at least once every day. I feel enriched, challenged, and inspired by her work - and will never read the opinion pages of the NYT again in quite the same way. In fact, I will join in agitating for more black female voices there and elsewhere.
Thank you, Dr. Cottom, for making this your "third job" - for taking whatever crap the world throws at you from whatever directions for your bravery and insight, and for inviting us all into your life experience in a deeply personal and seriously intellectual way.

Midwest nostalgia,humor,culture

Revisado: 01-31-20

I am from the Midwest (not Minnesota, although I have plenty of family there) and, after 40 years in Virginia, felt like I had come home to listen to this book. Totally MUST listen to this - the reader has NAILED the Minnesota accent, and the whole world view is so spot on. I laughed out loud and my heart was warmed. GREAT book.

Important and compelling

Revisado: 07-05-18

This book introduces great depth and dimension to the lives of Two pioneers for women’s rights and the quality of their lives. While thoroughly describing the lives of women in the 18th and 19th centuries through the stories of Mary Wolstonecraft and Mary Shelly, the author also traces and honors a mother’s legacy living in her daughter. What an eye opener and heart warmer. An essential read for those interested in early feminist literature

Gripping and interesting

Revisado: 11-13-17

This book grabbed me about 1/3 of the way in as all the pieces in motion twisted and whirled into a frenzy of a great story. Can’t wait to listen to the next one
