When we stop beating ourselves up and start helping ourselves instead, we find the peace we’ve always wanted—but never thought possible. Most of us are trying to succeed our way out of insecurity. But it never ends. This is the fundamental problem of all high achievers: our desire to get more, win bigger, be better, and prove once and for all we’re good enough is not enough. Proving anything to your satisfaction is a rational process. But feeling like we’re not good enough is an emotional conclusion.

The word ‘Independence’ is, quite frankly, a very common word today – celebrated, venerated, and metaphorically worn as a badge by every citizen of a democracy, such as the United States. And it has a deep association with the word ‘Freedom.’ For any American today, these two form the basis of their fundamental rights – you were born with them, and you will die with them. But have you ever thought about the weight that these two words carry? Or the toll they left in their wake within the bloodied pages of the history of the United States?

"Confessions of a Section 8 Landlord" is a candid account of the challenges and rewards of managing low-income housing. This gripping collection of stories exposes the raw reality of self-managing a twelve-unit apartment complex in one of America’s most dangerous cities. With a sense of humor and a touch of horror, the author recounts their experience with tenants who go to great lengths to save on rent, run-ins with the local gang leaders, and multiple squatters who turn the property into their own.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

A powerful 17-minute audiobook
A powerful 17-minute audiobook that packs a lot of emotion into a short time. The story revolves around a family dealing with loss and the tensions that can arise from unspoken grief. The narrator, Mandy Grant-Grierson, delivers a solid performance, but her voice can feel a bit flat at times, which might take away from some of the emotional highs. Even though it's brief, the story manages to be moving and reflective. It’s perfect if you're looking for a quick, emotional listen, though I do wish it was a little longer to explore the characters more deeply.

It took me on an emotional rollercoaster
"Laid to Rest" is short but so impactful! In just 17 minutes, it took me on an emotional rollercoaster. The story dives into generational grief and the quiet struggles that can tear families apart. It’s beautifully written, and the narration by Mandy Grant-Grierson adds so much depth to the emotions. If you’re looking for a quick, heartfelt listen that stays with you, this is it.

A quick but emotional story
This is a short story about three generations of women reuniting, with feelings of grief and distant connection captured in a single photo. It almost comes off as poetic to me, in a good way. You'll end the audiobook in a reflective state and its good if you're looking for something short but impactful. The only thing is the narrator is a bit monotone throughout, but I did enjoy the story!

Quick but Powerful Listen
For a 16-minute audiobook, this packs quite an emotional punch. B.B. James manages to tell a complete family story through the clever device of a single photograph, making every minute count.
The three generations of women feel surprisingly well-developed given the short runtime. Their shared grief and struggle to reconnect felt genuine rather than rushed. I especially appreciated how the author showed each character's perspective without getting bogged down in unnecessary details.
The narration keeps the pace moving while still giving weight to the emotional moments. It's perfect for a short commute or workout, but still leaves you thinking about the characters afterward.
While it's not breaking new ground in family drama, it's a solid story that does what it sets out to do. If you're looking for a quick listen that still delivers on emotional impact, this is worth your time.
A good reminder that sometimes the shortest stories can still pack a meaningful punch.

Short and sweet
The thing I like most about this book is its length. It’s a fun and quick read so it’s doesn’t take long to jump right into the action. And it’s not as if the action is boring either as it deals with family drama which is always interesting!
