Story
Hellsmouth, an indomitable thoroughbred with the blood of Triple Crown winners in her veins, runs for the glory of the Forge family, one of Kentucky's oldest and most powerful dynasties. Henry Forge has partnered with his daughter, Henrietta, in an endeavor of raw obsession: to breed the next superhorse, the next Secretariat. But when Allmon Shaughnessy, an ambitious young black man, comes to work on their farm after a stint in prison, the violence of the Forges' history and the exigencies of appetite are brought starkly into view.

I thought it was little more drawn out then it needed to be, the author spent a lot of time developing the characters but none of them seemed to have any real depth. The story to me just played out every stereo type of each race and it followed the typical sad ending we have heard so many times in real life, just change the occupation and water the polarity. The story wasn't surprising, I wouldn't listen to it again.

I'm not sure.....

This book exposed scenarios I have never heard of or seen. I have asked extremely successful women and men and to say they were horrified by the examples in this book would be an understatement. I tried to keep an open mind but honestly, I really feel like this book's advice is a bit dated and could cause a lot of problems for men and women in the work place. It's just my opinion and I have no real proof to back it up.
I can appreciate the struggle more after reading this book, so if that was the intent the message was conveyed.
Instead of giving this book a 1; I respect the research and time the author put into this book, that is why I rated a 3 overall.

Story
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society.

Listening to this book was amazing. I was able to truly understand the mind of an introvert from many perspectives. The examples of how to apply this to work, life, parenting and relationships feels to be right on target. Plus the irony of listening to a book written by an introvert feels as if I have had a 10 hour conversation with someone that doesn't like to talk. Excellent book!!!!
