Perception
Revisado: 03-16-25
How do you perceive freedom? What enslaves you? You are free to read, listen and wonder about anything. This story invites you to see, hear, imagine and think. I suggest you listen because the voice speaking the exquisite choice of words written by Percival Everette invites you on a journey you didn’t know you needed to take.

Please remember all WOMEN
Revisado: 03-14-24
This courageous, historical fiction was based on facts, things that happened to people that needed, as well as need, to be told, read and/or heard.
I wore a POW bracelet while in my teens - it had a man’s name on it. I thought about that man, his family and his mother and father; although I had not a speck of the magnitude of pain they were individually or collectively feeling.
Thanks be to our Higher Power for the people who helped the Vietnam Veterans by listening, making them feel safe, by spending time with them, by building the Memorial wall, by writing & publishing their important stories and by recognizing their service with gratitude.
Thank a Vet. Visit a Veteran’s home. Tell them they made a difference to the meaning of Americans who stand with each other. Ask them what they think their fellow Vets need.
To the narrator, even in the military, corps is pronounced “core”. Your reading of The Women allowed me to imagine the main character sharing her story with me. You made her and many other characters come to life in this audiobook.

It takes courage to search for the truth and to speak it.
Revisado: 01-14-24
The point of view of the narrator carries great weight and deep value within the story that is told. Mitch Albom writes and narrates a deeply powerful story that is based on TRUE events both historical and frighteningly unbelievable human. The truth must be heard and lived to the best of each person’s ability. And when a person thinks they have given their all, they need to bolster courage from themself and other true believers to act, speak and live the truth.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Our brains do their best to help us out, but every so often they can be real assholes - having meltdowns, getting addicted to things, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments. Your brain knows it's not good to do these things, but it can't help it sometimes - especially if it's obsessing about trauma it can't overcome. That's where this life-changing book comes in. With humor, patience, science, and lots of good-ole swearing, Dr. Faith explains what's going on in your skull, and talks you through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately....

You’ll listen, think, relate, laugh and learn.
Revisado: 01-21-23
The practical knowledge is presented in a straightforward, honest, humorous and genuine way; and the language might be too rough for some people. I believe the author was/is trying to appeal to a wide audience and I wasn’t surprised by the cursing; F**k is in the title. The author cares about people and helping them any way she is able; this book is a selfless way to reach people who personally experienced trauma, or know/love someone who did. As my dad says, “Life is hard yard by yard. Life’s a cinch, inch by inch.” You’re not alone nor are you meant to be and the no nonsense info in this book is the nudge someone might need to want to keep living.

Revisado: 09-03-16
It is refreshing to listen to a person's life story, who is comfortable in her own skin. At times, there is a feeling that Penny Marshall is visiting with you, like a friend you haven't seen for awhile and you bumped into on the street. Her humorous, generous and easy going personality reflect her appreciation for the relationships in her life.
