Honesty and courage to tell her story

I learned a lot from the authors story. I have reacted to situations in ways that were out of proportion with the facts. The pain I felt was not even close to the level of the event. There are many other hints I picked up about my history of abuse. I wonder what I don’t remember. Thank you Carol Boyce for your bravery to tell your story!

Bad Recording, Good story

I had a hard time following the story due to the recording. It seems the author was drinking from a cup or moving items while doing the recording. Her voice would fade in and out at times. Very distracting. Too bad as the story is very good. I suggest reading it.

Lovely story, sloppy recording

The story is wonderful. The edited recording is choppy, crackly, and distracting. The narrator is monotone.
