About Randy's list
"My deep love for audiobooks dates back to my time in college as a student-athlete. What began during long flights soon became my sanctuary between classes and football games—a way to quiet my mind and escape into other worlds. My college teammates and I were invited to the premiere of The Express, a sports biopic about football legend Ernie Davis, based on his memoir. His story became one of the first audiobooks I truly listened to, and even sparked my own desire to become a writer. Through this experience, I learned the profound importance of telling YOUR story, as you never know whose life you might touch as a result. Now, I'm excited to recommend five memoirs of equally inspiring figures who have impacted my life in more ways than one through their incredible journeys. I hope they do the same for you. Enjoy!" —Randi McKinnon, creator of The Prophecy-
