I totally enjoyed hearing the author narrate her own story. It makes the experience so much more personal. This story is very complex and enthralling. There are time jumps that are somewhat confusing but it all comes together as the listener continues on. I have never listened to such an interesting story-line that also gives the feeling of a history lesson. The characters are very humble and exciting at the same time. The way the story comes together is cause to keep listening without stopping to see what’s next. I felt very uplifted at the end and very happy that I was gifted this book in exchange for an hones review. How I wish I had some of the character’s musical abilities.
