Cathartic

I found myself moved by and empathetic to the experience of this author, a mother who's prematurely lost a son. As you listen to her poems, you hear and feel the author's pain and anguish. A poem about a kid with a baseball cap tells you the circumstances behind her son's death. Some of the poems are more painful than others; some feel hopeless. But they are all heartfelt, and therefore, ring with authenticity.

The narrator does a good job capturing the mood of the author with a voice that communicates a wide range of uncomfortable emotions.

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.
