Sob

De: Firoozeh Dumas

Narrado por: Firoozeh Dumas

New York Times best-selling author Firoozeh Dumas is used to making people laugh, but in 2022, she found herself drowning in tears of sadness. After her 2022 Los Angeles Times article "What I needed was a rest break on the Island of Grieving and Useless Folks" went viral, she was inspired to write Sob, a one-hour audio story about grief, healing, and miracles that will leave you spellbound.

In this unflinching story, Firoozeh Dumas, author of the international best seller Funny in Farsi, takes you into the worst year of her life, which she describes as “a bouillon cube of grief”. After the unexpected break up of her longtime marriage in 2022, Firoozeh finds herself in completely new territory, untethered from the only life she knew as an adult. Using her signature wit, she recounts her highly personal journey through this uncharted and unplanned chapter in her life. Hers is a journey she would have never chosen, but one that ultimately leads her to a deeper truth about herself, to a better place where hope and grace are a daily part of life and where serendipity is always around the corner. Firoozeh’s story will leave you crying, laughing, and pondering some of life’s big questions.

Honest and touching, heartbreaking and inspiring, Firoozeh’s story will resonate with anyone who has found themselves in the dark night of the soul and wondered if there is a way out. You will immediately want to discuss Sob with your friends. It is an experience meant to be shared.

Excellent

Thank you for sharing your story. Excellent storytelling. Hope to hear more stories from Firoozeh!

Stunning. A masterpiece. Listen NOW!

Firoozeh Dumas has written a masterful, gripping, dynamic story about heartbreak and healing, faith and love. She brings her generous humor and signature wit to heavy questions we all share, and invokes the mystery and magic of life. It's a piece you'll think about long after you listen and will want to send to all your friends. I’ve been a fan since her sensational Funny in Farsi, and this takes the cake — or, as she’d say, the Trader Joe’s Chocolate Bar. Listen to SOB now and thank me later!

One of my favorites!

I can’t believe how much I related to this. I even sobbed myself! One of my favorite authors who has this great wittiness about her that just makes you love her!

Riveting, vulnerable, and meaningful storytelling

I was enveloped in the journey from the very first sentence. Her ability to dissect and pen her raw experience is incredible. It’s hefty, intimate, difficult to hear at times, with underlying hope.

AMAZING! 👏🏼👏🏼

Bravo Firoozeh! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Firoozeh is an amazing writer and hearing “Sob” in her own voice makes the story more powerful! Looking forward to reading/hearing more of her writings!

Heartbreaking

It was short but sweet. I enjoyed it greatly. It was sad but had an uplifting ending.

Oprah Winfrey this is for you

Sob came out a week ago. I predict Oprah will be all over this. You will listen to it over and over again and will learn something new about yourself every time. I am recommending it to all my friends. You will too!

Sweet and Poignant

This was heartbreaking and beautiful, and wonderful story telling. I could listen to it over and over again. Her love of her family is incredible.

Insight to Pain

This book is painfully beautiful as well as raw. I enjoyed hearing. Firouzeh’s journey and look forward to future books.
