Drum beats and life.

A short but intense story about Sarah, a girl dealing with loss and addiction as she pursues her dream of playing the blues. Mary Kate Riley's voice conveys emotion with a warmth that grabs you from the start. Very real, very human.

Where it hurts, the blues sound.

A raw and honest portrayal of what it means to fall and get back up again. With the rhythm of the blues in the background, this story speaks of loss, addictions and broken dreams that insist on being put back together again. Brief, intense and narrated with a voice that accompanies without judging.

More than an audiobook, an intimate experience.

I didn't expect to connect so much with a work about music, but I felt that each chapter spoke directly to me. Full of little truths and anecdotes that only a blues lover would know how to tell.

Mary Kate Riley's narration has a relatable, unpretentious tone, like someone telling you a story in the kitchen while an old record plays. It is an audiobook to feel, not just to listen to.

A story that feels real.

This audiobook tells the journey of someone who is going through difficult times, trying to get ahead while struggling with his emotions and looking to do what he loves. It all revolves around the music, but what is important is what is behind it: the pain, the desire to get better and the people who accompany. It is told clearly and simply, without exaggeration, and it sounds very natural.

Life, chaos and a little bit of the blues

It's not just a story about music, it's about what happens when everything falls apart and yet you keep going. It talks about hard times, about trying to be right, about making mistakes and trying again. It's easy to listen to and leaves a feeling of closeness, as if the story was also a little bit yours.
