Story
In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court. The impact of sharing her voice—her truth—was undeniable, and it changed the course of her life and the lives of countless others. The Woman in Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history. Written with remarkable candor and humor, Spears’s groundbreaking book illuminates the enduring power of music and love—and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last.

Devastatingly Sad but the girl deserves to get it out
Reviewed: 10-28-23
I feel bad people are trying to shame her for telling her story NOW . Trauma needs an outlet and she was denied it for so long. I feel
like she was permanently handicapped
from being able to be a true adult and manipulated and taken advantage of in an illegal
way to control her and her assets . This stunted her mental growth, her creativity and violated her human rights. Michelle did a fantastic job narrating !

Story
Flights of Angels is not only historical fiction but equal parts political thriller, love story, and fairy tale. Richly embroidered with lush imagery, spanning continents and vastly different cultures, this is an epic tale of country and the turnings of the human heart.

Epic storytelling! The narration is magical .
Reviewed: 05-14-19
The next adventure with Cindy’s characters is epic. With each new book the narration gets more magical. The toothless elderly characters are hilarious. I love that it never feels like one person is playing every character. He does it with such ease and pizazz, or subtlety (whatever is needed) , especially when Jaime has his fever dream and the accents rapidly change. He’s on point! I love this story and can’t wait to see how it all plays out. I read this story first so hearing it as always reminds me of forgotten yet important details and turning points. The fairy house being one happy nougat! An Utterly fantastic and pleasant listen .

Story
The long-awaited sequel to Exit Unicorns opens in the autumn of 1969. Casey and Pamela Riordan have fled the erupting violence of Belfast, Northern Ireland, only to find themselves tangled in the web of political corruption that permeates South Boston. Here, a man's life can hang upon the whim of another, and neighborhood politics and organized crime are one and the same.

Even better than Exit Unicorns!
Reviewed: 10-09-18
I really enjoyed Gary’s narration for this book. He really does do various accents well so that you feel a distinct character from each person. Cindy’s writing is magnificent , she really captures the times well. It’s poignant, and melancholy, as it’s meant to be. It was hard hearing the demise of certain characters after already “living” them through the first reading of this book. Cindy gets an A+ from me! If you have finished her book with a dry eye you must be a sociopath, j/k.

Story
In this sweeping and powerful epic the journey begins in the "terrible beauty" of Northern Ireland during a time when conflict reigns and no one is spared from tragedy and sorrow, the time known as The Troubles. It is the spring of 1968 in Belfast and James Kirkpatrick has just lost his father under suspicious circumstances, Casey Riordan is released from prison after five years and Pamela O'Flaherty has crossed an ocean and a lifetime of memories to find the man she fell in love with as a little girl. All three lives are on a collision course with each other against the backdrop of the burgeoning civil rights movement and a nation on the brink of revolution. They come from disparate backgrounds - Jamie a wealthy aristocrat whose life is like an imperfect but multi-faceted jewel-brilliant, flawed and with a glitter that is designed to distract the observer. Casey, a card-carrying member of the Irish Republican Army, who must face the fact that five years away has left him a stranger, a misfit in his own neighborhood where not everyone is sympathetic to a convicted rebel. Pamela, who has come to Ireland in search of a memory and a man who may not have existed in the first place.

Loved it

A perfect escape and a tempestuous well written Irish period drama.
Reviewed: 11-29-17
I had already read this wonderful series after finishing what Diana Gabaldon had written and this was a perfect Segway. A perfectly plausible love triangle to make you envy and pity Pamela , Jaime (Irish aristocrat and so much more) and Casey (IRA Rebel) set in the political and religious struggle of Northern Ireland in the 60’s. There are dashes of the mythological and mystical Ireland but it’s not the focus.
Having heard it now as well I missed so many details. Specifically the very end I missed a very important piece of information about Pamela and I don’t know how! Gary really brought the characters to life and made the story more poignant. He did a variety of characters voices and accents and even languages across a few nationalities very well and was still able to give every Irish character male or female a distinct voice so it felt like different people.
I highly recommend listening!
