Refreshing insights!

Revisado: 11-05-21

I loved listening to Effie. It is so refreshing to hear accounts of women’s lives during the reign of Queen Victoria. Effie lived a middle class to upper class life and we hear a lot about the challenges and stressors placed on her during her lifetime. Her marriage to art critic John Ruskin was a sham and annulled after 6 years because he refused to consummate it. After hearing about his relationships with females, I have to wonder if he wasn’t a pedophile? Fortunately, Effie was granted an annulment, after undergoing an intrusive physical examination. Effie Grey then married the artist John Everett Millais in a love match and bore many children.

I found this book particularly insightful (the author relies on letters that Effie and her family wrote) to hear about Effie’s day to day life because so few female lives were documented in the Victorian Era.

There are not many good things that have happened during this COVID period. However, it created a void where some of the largest stars in the musical universe have had the time to sit back and reflect on their lives and careers and to share on Audible. I very much enjoyed hearing from Sting directly as he explained his story from his perspective, not from a journalist’s or a tabloid perspective. I’ve been a long time fan of his work and really enjoy this book. Thank you Sting & Audible for making it available to us!

Especially great for young people!

Revisado: 03-20-21

This book is very inspirational for anyone, but especially for junior high school on up. Desiree shares the thoughts she had as a 17 yr old as she made poor choices that ultimately led her to prison. There is also a message in there fir parents. And, her inspirational success after prison includes perspective to help anyone get unstuck or out of a negative mindset loop.

Extraordinary Woman

Revisado: 08-12-20

The life of Hedy Lamar was extraordinary. It’s far more interesting than any movie she acted in. She obviously was a woman of keen intellect. It makes me wonder...if her invention had been accepted during the war, how many other things would she have invented?

I love three things about this book. Right from the start, the author provides a website with all the links to resources she refers to.

Your heart can not look away

Revisado: 01-19-20

Very powerful story and performance. Horrific tale of the truth. American companies need to help change the atmosphere and provide safety and living wages. The Mexican government needs to eradicate corruption in the country if it wants to be a player on the world stage.

Men everywhere need to know that abuse against women will not be tolerated. Our hearts can not look away from the needs of others.
