We need to teach more of these stories!

Revisado: 10-09-24

I loved this book! As a flight nurse I cannot fathom someone telling me I cannot work because I am a woman or tell me I can’t do my job while on my period. We have people who are alive now as I am writing this 80 years later to say we need to go back to this society.
The author did a wonderful job researching this book. I am looking forward to view her website for more information on these woman.
It is depressing to hear about how one of the leaders was willing to sabotage the entire group if she was not allowed to be the ring leader.
The performance was good, minus in thing. The reader has a beautiful voice, but you can tell she had to voice over many areas and when she did she came back with a voice that sounds like emperor palpatine telling luke sky walker that the death star is fully operational. It was very distracting.

Learning about a presidential candidate.

Revisado: 08-03-24

When I picked this up, she was still a VP candidate. I had listened to JD Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy prior. The stark comparison between these two is astounding. This is a composed human who is strong, determined and eloquent.
Her story is touching. Between family and her professional journey. I hope it will inspire more good people to be a mentor, do public service and share their story with others.

Good story.

Revisado: 07-26-24

The story itself, about a boy struggling with family that has poor coping mechanisms and substance abuse is very familiar. I relate to a lot of it (however my family’s addiction was primarily alcohol). I am reading this shortly after he became a VP candidate for the 2024 election. It is nice to humanize a person running for office.
He does a good job reading his book. It is nice to listen to the author.
A part I didn’t care for is when he used a political example, the pay day loan bill, in his book. He was saying while working as an aide he was proud for his rep for voting no against the bill to save Pay Day loans. The loans were not truly under fire, it was their unethical practices that were causing a larger burden on people who have to use the loans. I feel that his interpretation was misrepresented the bill and was one sided.
I personally don’t think the concept of praising social capital. Saying things like “it is better to be lucky than good” while getting a highly competitive job shows that “it is not what you know, but who you know” out weighs merit.

Written very well

Revisado: 07-17-24

I had purchased this book after listening to Serial season 2. The authors are very thorough and this is well written. I don’t wish to give away key details… the take aways: It is amazing how poor communication, misinformation and political games have been played as this all went down. It makes me distrust cable media even more and hate how elections, political parties and general public can be easily persueded. I am amazed at the efforts his family went to try to save him. My heart goes out to everyone affected during those five years.

This is a really good book. I have loved her for a while. After listening to this book, I found out I relate to a lot of it. I enjoy hearing the vulnerability. It is smart.

A wonderful telling of a horrible time and of a love story in a terrible place

Revisado: 07-10-23

It didn’t take long to make it through this book. The author did well telling the story and representing the people in it. These are stories that need to be heard. We need to be reminded of the evil we are capable of as well as our humanity. My only hope is I have a fraction of resilience that these people have had.

A good listen

Revisado: 07-04-23

Interesting story. It keeps you wanting to listen. This is the first I have listened with more than one voice actor. I like the set up. However, I saw some problems with the medical/legal how things were handled. Without giving away any of the story. Secondly, the end was abrupt. I am sure, especially with the reviews, there will be another season.

Being our voice

Revisado: 05-10-23

What a wonderful written book. She is eloquent and does a wonderful job with incorporating studies and stats throughout her story. Story? No, her life.
The first 35 minutes I listened to the book, I, while sobbing texted my friend who recommended this book to me: I have never related so closely to someone’s story before.
The rest of this book was amazing. And if you are struggling as an adult who was raised by very abusive parents, I think this book will be a good read.

Wonderfully done

Revisado: 01-31-23

I enjoyed reading this book. Harry did a wonderful job writing it and I loved hearing it in his own words. I hope he considers writing another book. It gives insight into what was going on and how much Harry’s mother’s death has effected him. I am glad he stepped away. I wonder if England can tell the difference from news and a tabloid?
