Story
The man who brought the kavorka to the Seinfeld show through one of the most remarkable and beloved television characters ever invented, Kramer, shares the extraordinary life of a comedy genius—the way he came into himself as an artist, the ups and downs as a human being, the road he has traveled in search of understanding.

Seinfeld stories were fun- the rest not so much.
Reviewed: 10-03-24
I could feel his struggle to be authentic in his voice- which started off as Kramer/character like and took many chapters to calm down into himself. It was overall an okay read. I still don’t think he got there with intimately sharing who he really is & probably because he still doesn’t know. So many conflicting ideas are swirling about his cosmos. He drolls on about religious & worldly philosophies. He seemingly combines concepts from them all & turns them into non-sensical metaphors to lift himself up, to give his life meaning. I gained more insight into Michael Richards for sure & enjoyed the Seinfeld behind the scenes stories. He recognizes that his journey isn’t over hoping in his reincarnation- but I hope, like I do for all of us, that he continues to evolve in this, his only lifetime.

Story
Brynn Evason had always been on the fence about going to college, but RCU’s Arts for All program won her over with its accessible dorms, personal care assistants (PCAs), and independent studies in which she’ll learn more about the things she loves to do, including songwriting. She’s looking forward to a fresh start, especially since her relationship with Tommy came to a screeching halt during the summer. Her best friend, Randi, encourages her to keep her eyes open for cute guys on campus, but Brynn doesn’t think she’s ready to date again.

Book #4 of an exceptional & enjoyable series.
Reviewed: 05-04-24
I have really enjoyed all of Sara Pyszka’s books. They’re well written, sustain your interest & give a rare glimpse into her unique world. I love the “Just Be” series because Brynn Evason is a distinctive character who not only is full of life, personality & talent; she also has cerebral palsy which limits her mobility & audible speech. Her desires are the same as anyone, yet she must navigate a world that can be judgemental, impatient & even ignore her as she uses her “techno talk” device to speak. Brynn types words with her eyes, (a real technology that many more people need access to). This book is about a young adult finding her independence, social groups, honing her skills and gifting all the while trying to balance personal care givers & being heard. I’m already looking forward to book #5.
Overall, I think the narrator’s voice is perfect for the main character, Brynn & the other female characters in the book. My only cons in this book would be the irritating & fast voice of Trevor and the slowness in which Tommy speaks - both of which, in my opinion, seemed to be a distraction and/or took away from their characters.

Story
It is 1893, and the first generation of immigrants who came to America for the promise of free land and a good life for their children have finally achieved their dreams. They labored hard on the land and now have a bountiful heritage to pass on to the next generation. However, many of the young people aren't interested in becoming farmers - they have aspirations of their own. Thorliff Bjorklund has been writing stories and plays since he was a young boy and longs to attend college to study journalism. But his father has other plans for him and refuses to agree.

The narrator mutilated these beloved characters
Reviewed: 03-14-24
I have listened to maybe 15+ Red River & Blessings stories - So I was excited to find another piece to the puzzle that I had missed - but wow, the narrator made the characters sounds like caricatures of themselves. The accents were exaggerated & cartoonish. I wanted to know the details so I stuck with it, fast forwarding at times but wow, this was the wrong narrator for this book. Sad.

I have loved all the Red River/Blessing series - wonderful stories with trials and triumphs & God’s wisdom poured throughout. The narrator is fantastic, even doing accents well. How she kept track of everyone is amazing. Well done.

Much more hopeful overall than book one, learning to get through fear, forgiveness and trust in God are some of the main elements. I’m looking forward to book three. Narration is very good.

Exceptional narrator, she’s read three other books in another series & never ceases to amaze me with her talent. Story was honest about relationships & settling into a harsh land after coming to America for a better life. It ended with hope. I look forward to continuing the series.

Story
Handsome, hardworking, and godly, Andrew Petersheim has always been sure of his place in his Wisconsin Amish community. He'll be a welcome catch for the local girl who finally captures his heart. Mary Coblenz certainly isn't that girl. Two years after "jumping the fence" for the Englischer world, she's returned, unmarried and pregnant. Yet instead of hiding in shame as others in the community expect, she's working at the Honeybee Farm, ignoring the gossips - and winning over Andrew's eight-year-old twin brothers....

Reviewed: 12-19-23
I love how the narrator brought these characters to life. She’s one of the best narrators that I’ve encountered (after 80+ audible books)! She made the boys come alive, so that I didn’t miss Anna & Felty in this book. Just as importantly, the main character & her “situation” was thought provoking & really important for anyone who calls themselves a Christian to ponder. Sin, repentance, shame, self condemnation & condemnation from others are all explored in this thoughtful & redeeming story.

Reviewed: 12-13-23
This story is relatable, touching & laugh out loud funny in several parts. I’ve listened to many Huckleberry Hill matchmaker series books - so I know the grandparents, Anna & “Felty” well, and their antics in this story were especially amusing. This is one I would listen to again. Very enjoyable!
