If it weren’t for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010—and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later—she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone. Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time.

Fantastic book. So genuine, real, authentic and self disclosing. I learned things I had never known about Whoopi’s life. Such incredible resilience and impressive values, especially around family. Loved this book and having it read by Whoopi is such an added treat!!!! Well done Whoopi!!

Walking in My Joy is a collection of electric stories by the one and only, super hilarious Jenifer Lewis. Her commentary on what’s happening in the world today, told through her outrageous real-life adventures, will have you laughing out loud, while her insightful messages touch your soul. A self-described “traveling fool and nature freak,” Jenifer takes listeners with her all over the world, from Cape Town to Bali; Washington, DC, to the Serengeti; Mongolia to St. Petersburg; and Argentina to Antarctica to demonstrate how she walks in her joy by seeking pleasure in everyday encounters.

Incredibly well done. The gift I’m having Je
nifer Louis read the book herself was a wonderful. Worth the cost of the book. Her narration wasn’t an award winning performance itself. Incredibly vulnerable, authentic and honest this book reminds us all of our common humanity. Well done Jenifer. Another success!

Perfect Mexican daughters do not go away to college. And they do not move out of their parents' house after high school graduation. Perfect Mexican daughters never abandon their family. But Julia is not your perfect Mexican daughter. That was Olga's role. Then a tragic accident on the busiest street in Chicago leaves Olga dead and Julia left behind to reassemble the shattered pieces of her family. And no one seems to acknowledge that Julia is broken, too. Instead, her mother seems to channel her grief into pointing out every possible way Julia has failed.

Very practical, actionable suggestions for making a difference noches in one’s mood, but in their relationships and ultimately the world. Five stars. Highly recommend

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

A wonderful follow up to Becoming. The candor, courage and bravery of Mrs. Obama sharing very personally about struggles she has worked and continues to work to overcome inspires courage and strength in the reader. Well done. Enjoyed very much!!

Randy Rainbow, the man who conquered the internet with a stylish pair of pink glasses, an inexhaustible knowledge of Broadway musicals, and the most gimlet-eyed view of American politics this side of Mark Twain finally tells all in Playing with Myself, a memoir sure to cause more than a few listeners to begin singing one of his greatest hits like “A Spoonful of Clorox” or “Cover Your Freakin’ Face”.

Outstanding first memoir!
Revisado: 05-06-22
What an absolute treat to have Randy read this and infuse it with such a sense of heart and authenticity. It was difficult to put this audible book down. The narrative is fast moving, engaging and extremely entertaining. This is exactly what we need in these difficult times. I was heartbroken as he was reading the story about his cat and surprised at such a emotional and visceral response it evoked in me Having also lost loved and cherished pets and family members. Very well done Randy. You “knocked it out of the park”. You can Google that to see what it means. It’s a sports reference. :-) Highly recommend. Trying to find a way to give it 10 stars.

Gadsby grew up as the youngest of five children in Tasmania, where homosexuality was illegal until 1997. After moving to mainland Australia and receiving a degree in art history, they found themselves adrift, working itinerant jobs and enduring years of isolation punctuated by homophobic and sexual violence. When Gadsby was twenty-seven, a friend encouraged them to enter a stand-up competition. They won, and so began their career in comedy.

It’s easy to be yourself when who and what you are is in vogue. But growing up Black and gay in America has never been easy. Before Billy Porter was slaying red carpets and giving an iconic performance in the celebrated TV show Pose; before he was the Tony Award-winning star of Broadway’s Kinky Boots; and before he was an acclaimed recording artist, actor, playwright, and all-around diva, Porter was a young boy who didn’t fit in.

Outstanding and very intimate personal sharing
Revisado: 12-20-21
I full heartedly recommend listening to this book as narrated by Billy Porter. Yes he so genuinely does, Billy brings his full voice and emotion to this autobiography and even sings which is such a gift and welcome surprise when listening to the book. The best book I have listened to all year. I’ve truly enjoyed this and been inspired. Billy sprinkles his life lessons and teachings throughout the book. I found this sharing most moving…”Your service is leaning into your truth. Your authenticity. That thing you’ve been told needs to be fixed. That thing everyone told you will be your liability. You are enough, just as you are. “. Absolutely outstanding book. Highly recommend. Two thumbs up, five stars. We need an award to be presented for the narration of books. Billy would win this award, hands-down.

"How did you get this number?" Those were the first words Jill Biden spoke to US senator Joe Biden when he called her out of the blue to ask her on a date. Growing up, Jill had wanted two things: a marriage like her parents' - strong, loving, and full of laughter - and a career. An early heartbreak had left her uncertain about love until she met Joe. But as they grew closer, Jill faced difficult questions: How would politics shape her family and professional life? And was she ready to become a mother to Joe's two young sons?

Enjoyed this book so much. Hearing Dr. Biden read the book was a wonderful gift and enhanced the telling of her experience. No quick fixes around grief but courageous authentic sharing which was very humanizing. So very thankful I got this book and highly recommend it. Absolutely wonderful values around family and interdependence.

Katie: #WellDone Loved this book!!!
Revisado: 11-07-21
Just finished listening!!!! I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! Ive recommended it to countless friends. It is fast moving… kept my attention every bit of the way. Her experience as a journalist, being female in that industry, her time at TODAY SHOW…. Her Matt Lauer thoughts… the difficulty at CBS EVENING NEWS….. death of her beloved husband to colon cancer…. Single mom…… aging…. I could NOT put it down…. She is very open and authentic. I teared up several times while listening! Tough for a book to do that, but she is so genuine and freely shared her heart….. the book moved me and touched my heart. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I listened to it which was a joy because she READ the audio version. What a joy to integrate media from news coverage. So creative!! Its so good I bought a hardcover copy for my mom who cant wait to read it!!! Simply said, outstanding!!!
