Good Read.

I was very interested in this story, and encouraged. I could relate to most of what she said, and more importantly, I felt better afterwards.

thanks for your art

This short book is a gem. There are artists who create art. I believe that there's artists whose art is supporting art. I'm inclined to include Beth Pickens in that category. How else could she know so well. Thank you for your art. Thx for writing this book.

Way too political way too often

I get it, trump is an ass. And I even get why you would give us a backstory that you wrote this book because of the 2016 election. But to mention the frump administration every few minutes .... I had to shut it off and I don’t even like trump. I fully agree with the author that he’s a moron...

Too political too often. It’s off putting to your main goal of writhing about art 🤷🏼‍♀️

Interesting but too political

I was an interesting listen but got too political for me near the end.

Well written and on point.

Great book, well read. There is hope. It’s alive in all artists. Woody Guthrie said the same on his guitar case.
