Loved this book

I absolutely loved this book!!! I loved how realistic Sharon made the book, it definitely brought me back to growing up in Jamaica, and most importantly I LOVED that she actually spoke patois. That makes a big difference for me in making the book more believable. It’s hard for me to concentrate on an audible book which is supposed to be in a particular language and it sounds nothing like it. I hope Sharon is planning on writing another book soon because I can’t wait!😀

Wonderful book!

Authentic Caribbean story taken to the next level with superb reading... thank you for this book!

The organic nature of the story

I’ve read the hard copy of this book and fell in love with it, but to experience the audio version in the in Author Sharon Gordon’s voice was amazing… it brought my into her story with visual imagery and presence as if I were present at the time the story was being lived out. These layers and depth of “Sheribaby” though rooted in Jamaican culture transcends culture and speaks to the heart of humanity as a whole. God Bless you Sharon Gordon, and thank you for “Sheribaby.”

I felt as if I was there in Jamaica. I could feel the grass under foot, the smells of the food, the fruit trees in the yards.

I WANT MORE! I NEED MORE!!! Please give us more. I'll be sharing the link every where!!

Captivating Story

I loved the author's authenticity of dialect throughout the story,with clear depictions of settting, and I am captivated by the spark and resilience of Sheribaby.

Great Narration

My parents are also from the West Indies, so I love listening to the patois and other cultural elements that were familiar to me. I enjoy the diversity of the offerings on Audible. There are so many good stories to tell!
