Ratings and reviews

Amazing!! This is the first poetry audiobook that I have heard and I am hooked. Mary Lambert you are amazing. The way you present your poetry really captivated me, and I had to buy your audiobook. The music in the background enhanced your story. The ups and downs of your tone of voice is heartbreaking and real. The title is perfect and fitting. Your story in this book spoke to me as well it will to other women in this situation past and present. I recommend your book to all women. Thanks Mary.
