Reseñas de la Crítica

“This is a romantic but realistic story, told with a directness and honesty that makes us know that, however impossible the problems asha and Rashid face, we can question neither her motives nor sanity.” ( Booklist)

This book was very heartfelt! Thank you for sharing your experience!

This book was very heartfelt! Thank you for sharing your experience! The narrator did an amazing job with reading with so much emotion that I felt the pain and happiness.

I loved this book!!! recommend it big time

Not only the author was great at keeping me focused on the story and wanting more but the narrator was amazing too. The narrator made me feel every bit of the story. I've never tried the audible version of books before and it was definitely a perfect choice. loved every minute of it. thank you.

I am not alone...

As a prison wife for the long haul, I appreciate hearing the author's story. It normalized my feelings and experiences. There aren't many resources for us.

This is also a good one for women who have experienced childhood trauma. The author put into words experiences that I could not.

The performance was lively and emotional. The writing is poetic.

Different view points

I really enjoyed listening to this story. I liked how she showed different points of views about each situation.

Told with great excellence!

I read the hard copy as I listened to the audiobook . The first sentence of the first page of the first chapter, the first words written in the first paragraph, the first words I read we're all it took to hook me. and I couldn't stop reading it until I reach the end. I dream of writing like this.

loved it

Phenomenal writing. It captured so many emotions and situations of not only the the silently abused black woman but of the sister who loves her incarcerated King

Beatlutifully written memoir

Asha Bandele can write! I enjoyed every chapter of this book. It is deep, poetic, descriptive, passionate. I have discovered a great writer!
