Inspiring roadmap of a journey to release the tie to a madman

Revisado: 12-13-23

What an insightful and inspiring story. A treasured gift from a person trying to make sense of the wake of destruction left by a hurt, lonely, brilliant and violent narcissist. I’m so moved by learning about one woman’s sensitive, balanced and thoughtful process of trying to release the hold Ted K. had on her life. I will be thinking about her story for a long time as I hope to absorb the powerful lessons I’ve learned from her choice to share her journey. Told with courageous, eloquent and engaging curiosity and most importantly, an open heart.

Revealing, fascinating and so sad

Revisado: 11-28-23

Mr. Thomas, thank you for generously offering such a compelling and layered peek behind the curtain of journalism. I will be thinking a long time about the heart, drive, courage and timing it takes to step into the void. I’m moved by your dogged, bold and rich pursuit for truth telling. I’m also heartbroken by your examination of the impact and destruction that one man’s selfish choices can leave in its wake.

True Crime followers will notice an exceptional difference

Revisado: 04-05-23

As a true crime podcast follower since it’s inception, I’ve heard it all and many stories lack intellectual integrity, undying curiosity and a commitment to pull on all the strings. Many choose to speak to, or dumb down to, the lowest common denominator for greater ratings. This book has a higher calling! This author demonstrates raw honesty, transparency and trust that his listeners will want to dig deep with him and learn something. I find that so refreshing and now I can appreciate the difference! The author expects the listener to be interested in the minutiae of the research, the context of the times and the incredible work it takes (and blunders he makes) as he aggressively investigates a subject. I was hooked when hearing about the painstaking process of following a lead and questioning himself for biases all through the writing process. And unlike so much cold case reporting flooding our brains, we get to enjoy the satisfaction of the author, although begrudgingly, probably solving the case. Bravo!

Best read in a long time

I’ve loved Kingsolver for decades. This book felt like coming home. A beautiful story of redemption and resilience. Just what the doctor ordered!

Thank you so much for making this available!

Revisado: 06-01-19

What an amazing resource. Done so well and made available incredibly fast. It feels so good to be informed and educated about such an important topic in the news and facing our nation. Can’t say how impressed I am for Audible to make this resource available to us for FREE at such an incredibly high production standard. And it was much more readable (listenable), clear, interesting, concise and informative than I had anticipated. Not nearly as much jargon and “boring stuff” as I had feared. Every American should listen if you ask me!!

Most beautiful narration I’ve ever heard

Revisado: 09-13-18

A loving and brutal look back at a family journey that I will never forget. It was more of a song than a novel to me. So beautiful and layered and textured and fragrant and visual and graphic and bold. I want to assign this book to all my friends so that I can then invite them over for dinner and talk about it all night.

Beautiful summer listen

How have I missed this author? Rachel Joyce has an amazing gift of capturing complex feelings of male characters. Couldn’t put my earbuds down until I finished the journey!

Loved feeling like I was learning with Safran!

I got to the end and felt like John's research and now experience in writing a true crime book taught me how to go after something I am passionate about and give it a try. It might be brilliant! And certainly an experience you will never forget! Great story.
