Historia4 out of 5 stars 175
Raised in figure skating, Ashleigh brought the quest for perfectionism into marriage and motherhood, striving for the highest level of difficulty while trying to make it all appear effortless and beautiful. Hilarious, heartbreaking, and hopeful, what will she do when she realizes she has taken "doing it all" to a level she never intended?

Neurotic, banal, struggles of an upper middle-class white woman.
Revisado: 11-07-24
Nothing truly interesting takes place in this narrative. It’s quite the opposite of autobiographical accounts such as “Angela’s Ashes,” where the author endures real problems. This is an Alice and wonderland ride of self inflicted neurosis.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 5
When Romi Grossberg decided, at thirty-five, to give up her job as a social worker in Australia for a two-year contract in the slums of Cambodia, she could never have imagined that the experience would change her life forever. Hip Hop & Hope is part memoir, part history, part travelogue, and completely engaging. Its portrait of Phnom Penh is complicated and indelible. Its story of work in an NGO is inspirational. At this hip hop youth centre, Romi evolves from a frightened burrung to a respected manager who knows the words, the tunes, and the moves.

hope and redemption
Revisado: 09-21-24
The author is an empath who pours her heart out in her work and on these pages. The narrative is framed by the events of the Khmer Rouge, the subsequent U.S deportation policy, and the wealth disparity between the Western world and Southeast Asia. The book is about the author's experiences. However, she spends most of her efforts illuminating the lives of those whom she spent so much of her time working with. The details of the main character's life are not fully revealed until the end, letting the reader anticipate the most dramatic point in the narrative. It's a story of hardship, dedication, empathy, injustice, and redemption. I recommend the audio book which is read by the author. The emotion comes through in her voice making for some very powerful moments.
